    Abstract

    With the establishment of International Agricultural Research Centers (IARC) the international exchange of seed has greatly increased. For example, during 1989 ICRISAT exported 13164 samples of chickpea seed and 6095 samples of groundnut seed to 41 and 37 countries, respectively. There is always a risk that pathogens can be transmitted by seed. Seed-borne fungi, bacteria and viruses result in yield losses, reduction in seed germination, increased risk of deterioration in storage, and harmful effects on humans and animals because of toxic metabolites of certain mold fungi.
