Most of the rice diseases are transmitted by seeds which are the important limiting factor getting good quality seeds and good yield. Stored and freshly harvested rice seed of different varieties were collected from Agricultural farm of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha to study the association of different fungal pathogens. The seeds were graded on the basis of intensity of discoloration. Among nine plant products evaluated against the pathogenic fungi Fusarium fujikuroi, Curvurlaria lunata, Helminthosporium oryzae, garlic extract alone and in combination with datura and neem leaf extract completely inhibited the growth of the fungi at 10% and 20% concentration. | Management of seed borne pathogens of rice
