Abstract
All the isolated pathogens were found pathogenic to paddy seeds resulting into reduction in seed germination and seedling vigour index. The seed borne mycoflora viz., Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria alternata and curvularia lunata were found more dominant and aggresive.
Among all the treatments of fungicides and bioagents, fungicidal seed treatments were found significantly superior in reducing seed borne mycoflora, increasing seed germination and seedling vigour index.
