| Summary: | Seed mycoflora of three varieties susceptible to Banded leaf and Sheath blight disease of maize was isolated from fresh harvest of 2007 following agar plate method. The results indicated the presence of fifteen species belonging to eleven genera. Highest percentage of Aspergillus niger was recorded in all tested varieties. The effect of dominant fungi on seed germination, seedling growth, and their fresh and dry weight and vigour index was recorded. It showed that highest (94%) percent of seed germination was observed in control.
