Abstract


Six fungicides were employed by dusting the seeds (0.3% w/w) of Setaria italica to observe their effect on seed mycoflora. Dithane M-45, Agrosan G. N. and Dithane Z-78 reduced most of the prevalent fungi significantly associated with the grains, whereas, Benlate Blitox 50 and Diflolatan were not much effective. The per-cent seed germination was found to be increased in all the treatments as compared to control.
