?RELATIONSHIP OF SEED-BORNE FUNGI TO FIELD DISEASES OF SUNFLOWER
Keywords:
Sunflower, Seed-borne fungi, Field diseases.Abstract
Twenty one seed-borne fungi were recorded from 196 seed samples collected from seeds used for sowing of
sun-flower crop and a total of ten field diseases wererecordedduring surveyof sunflowercrop in 199I-92. All the
field diseases observed inthis surveyareknowntobe seedtransmitted.Thecausal organisms offive field diseases
