Abstract

Stored grains of 3 Sorghum cultivars (296 - B, SPV – 1068 and White Cultivar) collected from Telangana districts have been worked out during the year 2019 to 2020. The results indicate the association of 27 - 29 fungi associated with unsterilized seeds of 296 –B and SPV – 1068 cultivars, respectively. The seeds sterilized with 1% Sodium hypochlorite have been found colonized by less fungal species. White Cultivar, which is a resistant variety has been found colonized with 9 fungal species in unsterilized seeds, while the sterilized did not show any infection. Thus, the data indicates the need for seed treatment before storage and also to provide healthy storage conditions.
