            <abstract>
                <p>Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) seeds mycoflora was studied and subsequently
determine their effect on seed germination and seedling growth in pot condition. Seed
sample were examined in agar plate and blotter method showed association of nine fungi
belonging six genera i.e., Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium oxysporum,
Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium udum and Alternaria alternata. Seed mycoflora and
their culture filtrate caused considered reduction in germination per cent and seedling
growth as compared to untreated check. Lowest seed germination recorded by Aspergillus
niger in both culture filtrate (43.00%) and seed inoculated (56.00%).The effect of different
chemical fungicides, bio-agents and phyto-extracts on seed mycoflora, germination and
vigour index of pigeonpea was evaluated. The seed treatments improved seed germination,
vigour index and reducing seed borne mycoflora of pigeonpea seeds. Different fungicides,
bio-agents and phyto-extracts were evaluated as seed treatment. In fungicides, Matalaxyl
8% + Mancozeb 64% @ 0.2% was found superior in seed germination (93.33%), shoot
length (11.23cm), root length (13.67cm) and vigour index (2323.73) whereas, in bio-agents
Trichoderma viride was found most effective in seed germination (88.00%), shoot length
(9.03cm), root length (11.17cm) and vigour index (1777.46). seed treatment with phytoextracts
Neem seed extract gave more seed germination (78.67%), shoot length (7.97cm),
root length (9.20cm) and vigour index (1350.00) compared to control.
