Abstract

Culture filtrates of Curvularia lunata and fusarium moniliforme, both individually, were highly toxic to seed and reduced its germination by 46-47 and 41-44 percent respectively, when tested against two cultivars of sorghum. Leachate of Drechslera halodes caused only 16-17 percent reduction. Among combination of these fungi, culture filtrate of C. lunata, D. halodes and F. moniliforme exhibited highest loss in seed germination which was 33-36 percent followed by that of C. lunata and F. moniliforme.
