Control of Seed Borne Fungi of Rice

Seed borne disease is a serious problem for successful crop production in Bangladesh. Among all the groups of seed borne pathogens, fungi play significant role in causing seed borne diseases. Considerable amount of research works have been conducted on the association of seed borne fungal pathogens with rice and on the control of seed borne infection of the crop with chemicals but little work has been carried out on the control of seed-borne fungal pathogens with plant extract in Bangladesh.
