Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Pathology department to determine the percentage of affected seeds with seed borne infestation in seed samples. Result of the seed health test of different station showed comparatively higher infection from Tarabo and chandina than other stations. The highest infection of Macrophomina phaseolina ( 9%) and Colletotrichum corchori (20%) were recoded from the CVL-1 seed samples from Tarabo station. The highest infection of B. theobromae (8%) and Colletotrichum corchori (20%) were observed in HC-95 and BJC-83 from Chandina. Colletotrichum corchori(20%) was also observed in HC-95 from Kishoregonj.

Objectives:

1.To study the occurance of different seed borne disease caused by fungi.

2.To determine the percentage of affected seeds with seed borne infestatioon in seed samples.

Methodology:

Seed samples from (a) Breeder (b) Foundation seed (c) Registered growers of different farms, agro-climate zones and (d) Other sources were tested in the laboratory by wet blotters & potato-Dextrose Agar(PDA) method.When the germination was completed, the seeds were examined under stereo microscope for detection of fungal pathogens.
