Description :
Seed quality parameters and mycoflora associated with bold and wrinkled seeds of pea cv. Local-1 and Local-2 was investigated during 2018. Both types of seeds yielded qualitatively similar fungi viz., Alternaria alternate, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Culvularia lunata, Fusarium sp., Penicillium citrinum and Rhizopus nigricans, but for difference in their percentage of incidence. Percentage of seed colonized by fungi was more in wrinkled seeds in both cultivars. Bold seeds were superior with respect to seed quality parameters such as 100-seed weight, germination, plumule length, radical length and seedling dry weight as compared to wrinkled seeds.
