  "abstract": "<p>Stored grains of five varieties of rice (<em>Oryza sativa&nbsp;</em>L.) viz. KS-282, Basmati-385, Basmati-370, Basmati Kernal and Basmati-198 were studied to investigate the occurrence of seed-borne mycoflora using blotter paper method. There was 27%, 19%, 17%, 16% and 14% mycoflora found associated with the seeds of Basmati kernel, Basmati-385, Basmati-370, Basmati-198 and KS-282, respectively. Four fungal species namely&nbsp;<em>Fusarium moniliforme, Alternaria&nbsp;</em>sp.,&nbsp;<em>Helminthosporium</em>&nbsp;sp. and&nbsp;<em>Curvularia</em>&nbsp;sp. were isolated from different test rice varieties.&nbsp; Four chemical fungicides namely antracal, topsin, mencozeb and derosal were used to investigate their effect on seed-borne mycoflora of rice. Seed treatment with different fungicides exhibited insignificant effect on the occurrence of&nbsp;<em>F. moniliforme&nbsp;</em>and&nbsp;<em>Alternaria&nbsp;</em>sp. Antracal completely stopped the growth of&nbsp;<em>Helminthosporium&nbsp;</em>sp. and&nbsp;<em>Curvularia&nbsp;</em>sp. The other three fungicides markedly suppressed the growth of&nbsp;<em>Helminthosporium&nbsp;</em>by 50%. Similarly, topsin and mencozeb suppressed the growth of&nbsp;<em>Curvularia</em>&nbsp;sp.by 50%.</p>",
