Abstract
Seeds of sorghum, pearl millet, finger millet, chickpea, plgeonpea, and groundnut are known to harbor over 62 seed borne fungi belonging to 37 genera. In thiS bulletin, an attempt has been made to help agncultural sCientists and students Identify seedborne fungi, usually observed dunng the seed health tests conducted for phytosanltary certification of the SIX ICRISAT mandate crops ThIS bulletin proVides descnptlons and Illustrations of 45 s.eedborne methods of seed transmiSSion, detection, symptoms on the seed, morphological charactenstlcs of the fungi, quarantine Importance, and control measures to eradicate seedborne Inoculum and to prevent Inadvertent Introductions. Microphotographs are Included to help Identify the fungi. A world list of seedborne dISeases IS also given to help regulatory agencies formulate poliCies InvolVing seedborne fungi, so that unnecessary restnctlons on the movement of disease-free germ plasm can be aVOided
