Description :
Seed quality parameters and mycoflora associated with bold and shriveled seeds of L-4076 and K-75 greengram CV was investigated during 2014. Both types of seeds yielded qualitatively similar fungi viz. Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Cladesporium fulvum, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusrium oxysporum, Pencillium citrinum and Rhizopus nigricans, but for difference in their percentage of incidence. Percentage of seed colonized by fungi was more in shriveled seed in both cultivars. Bold seeds were superior with respect to seed quality parameters such as 100 seed weight, germination, plumule length, radicle length and seedling weight as compared to shriveled seeds.
