Chickpea (Cicer arietinum.) is grown extensively in India as an important legume crops. A quality seed is required to increase the production of chickpea qualitatively and quantitatively. Hence it is imperative that seeds must be tested for seed-borne mycoflora (seed-health), before they are sown in the field. In the context, a study was conducted to work out the diversity of seed-borne mycoflora in relation to different chickpea varieties. Seeds of ten varieties of chickpea were subjected to Standard Purity Work Board technique and Standard Blotter Paper Method technique (ISTA 2007) for the detection and isolation of seed-borne mycoflora. | Diversity of seed-borne mycoflora in relation to different chickpea varieties in Uttar Pradesh, India
