Abstract

Fungi alone and in association can produce various types of toxic substances which can reduce the nutritional value of seeds and make them unsuitable for consumption. It is understood from the isolation studies on seed mycoflora of Groundnut varieties (SB XI & TAG 24) that some fungi were always found to be associated with a particular group of fungi and at the same time some fungi grew on the seeds individually without showing any association with any other type of fungi.

  1. Aspergillus flavus showed its association with most of the fungi including Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus and Rhizopus nigricans.
  2. Aspergillus niger showed its association with Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus and Rhizopus nigricans.
  • Alternaria alternata showed its association only with Aspergillus flavus and Rhizopus nigricans.
  1. Macrophomina phaseolina was found associated with only Rhizopus nigricans.

 Key words: Mycoflora, SB XI, TAG-24, Association.
