Abstract

---

Using ISTA techniques, the seedborne mycoflora of 24 samples of tomato seeds collected from different parts of Pakistan was examined. Of the 37 species of fungi belonging to 20 genera isolated, 22 species of fungi belonging to 15 genera were found to be new records from Pakistan. Fusarium solani, F. moniliforme, Aspergillus jlavus, Allernaria allernala and Drechslera australiensis were predominant. Greater number of fungal species, both in sterilized and non-sterilized seeds, were recorded by agar plate method followed by blotter and deep-freezing method.
