Abstract

---

Using ISTA techniques , 27 species of fungi were isolated from 6 varieties of sorghum seed. Deep freezing method was found superior to the standard blotter and agar plate methods for the detection of fusarium spp., drechslera spicifera and curvularia lunata. Seed components showed infection of alternaria alternata , curvularia lunata , drechslera spicifera , D. hawaiiensis , fusarium moniliforme and F. semitectum but F. moniliforme was frequently recorded in the embryo.
