Abstract
An investigate to detect the seed-borne mycoflora and management by plant extracts were conducted in Seed borne mycoflora of castor beans and their management by botanical extracts the Department of botany, Plant Pathology laboratory, DRM science college Davanagere during 2021. Seven samples of castor beans were collected from Santhebennur, Hirekoglur, Mallapura, Balliganudu, Thanigere, Gollarahalli and Erganalli of different agro climatic regions of Santhebennu hobli, channagiri taluk Davanagere district Karnataka rabi season during-2021. The different plants extracts like garlic and neem leaf extract were used for control of mycoflora and seed germination. These plantextract were treated at different concentrations (1:1, 1:2 and 1:3) and mycoflora were recorded. Total eighteen fungi were recorded in all type of castor beans. Above seed health test methods SBM is superior for detection of seed borne mycoflora than 2,4. D and Santhebennur, Balliganudu, Hirekoglur, Mallapura and Thanigere samples shows higher incidence of mycoflora than others. Among the plant extracts, neem extract were found superior for the inhibition of seed borne pathogens and increase the seed germination in 1:3 percent concentration. So, this study recommends the use of plant extracts which may increase seed germination and inhibit seed-borne fungi without any harmful effect.
