Description :
The mycological analysis of seed borne fungal flora of composite seed samples of Rosa balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.) from different geographical regions of Nagpur has revealed prevalence of 23 fungal species belonging to 15 genera. Altogether, a population of 20 fungal species representing 13 genera has been encountered from untreated seeds on blotter paper as external seed borne while 14 fungal species of 9 genera from treated seeds on agar plate as internal seed borne. Aspergillus amstelodomi was recorded most dominant as external seed borne while Aspergillus flavus was confined dominant among internal seed borne fungal flora. Deuteromycota contributed higher level of fungal incidence and fungal count. Maximum fungal flora was detected on blotter paper over agar plate.
