Study on Prevalence and Most Widespread Wheat Seed Borne Mycoflora in Different Locations of Samastipur
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Agricultural Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
In India, Wheat is the most stable crop placed second only torice. In Samastipur, as compared to other commercial crop, wheat is grown on more land area. However in addition to declining in the physical-chemical quality of seed grains, fungi also affect the seeds germ inability. Keeping this in mind, it has been decided to make a through survey of wheat varieties collected from different localities of Samastipurdistrict. In the present study, Wheat samples were collectedfrom different locations of Samastipur and then determinedthepresence of fungal pathogens which may be associatedwith wheat seeds. In this study, thirty seed samples werecollected and presence of fungal pathogen was determined byblotter method. At the end of the study we found thatFusariumgraminearumwere predominant among all thevarieties and was strongly pathogenic. Fusariumgraminearumis a species of toxigenic fungi that is capable ofproducing trichothecene is found throughout the world.Percentage frequency was determined and type of fungi varied with variety and locations. Fusariumgraminearumwas highest in Samastipur district while Fusariumpoaewas foundnext to Fusariumgraminearum. Relative humidity might be the reason for variation in frequency and type of fungi detected in wheat seeds at different locations.
