Abstract
Tomato is one of the most common vegetable crops grown in Gujarat. Seedborne
fungi are potential constraints in quality seed production of tomato resulting in
substantial loss in fruit yield. In all, each of three tomato seed samples from Anand
(AT-3, JT-3 and DVRT-2),Junagadh (GT-1, JT-3 and DVRT-2), Ladol (AT-3, JT-3 and
DVRT-2) and one seed sample from Thasara (AT-3) were procured and subjected to
assessment of seed-borne fungi at three and six months of storage period by standard
blotter method and agar plate method. Besides, investigation was carried out on the
evaluation of fungicidal seed treatment at seedling stage.
