Abstract

A total of 19 fungal species were isolated from the seeds of selected rice varieties (BRRI dhan 90 to BRRI dhan 99) following Tissue planting method and Blotter method. The isolated fungi were Aspergillus niger, A. ochraceus, A. oryzae, A. tamarii, A. terreus, Chaetomium globosum, Cladosporium oxysporum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Corynespora cassiicola, Curvularia lunata, Curvularia soli, Daldinia eschscholtzii, Fusarium solani, Penicillium oxalicum, Penicillium sclerotiorum, Pestalotiopsis guepinii, Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizopus stolonifera and Trichoderma viride. Out of 19 species of fungi Aspergillus niger, Curvularia lunata, and Fusarium solani were found to be pathogenic to the selected rice varieties.
