Abstract
Three genotypes of Arachis hypogea viz, Chandra, Indori, Rajasthani were collected from NBPGR New Delhi. 10 species of fungi were collected from these genotypes. Effect of one of the dominant fungi Aspergillus flavus was studied on the quality of Arachis hypogea seeds. Fungal infection caused both quantitative and qualitative damage to the seed. It resulted in characteristic decrease in sugar and oil quantity of Arachis hypogea seeds. There was marked reduction in germination percentage and vigour index. The oil extracted from diseased kernel contain high amount of fatty acids as compared to healthy seeds of all the genotypes.
