What you'll learn

It is an engaging and comprehensive course designed to provide participants with the scientific knowledge and practical experience needed to estimate seed mycoflora from cereal and pulse crop seeds. Estimation of seed mycoflora is a critical process in seed pathology to identify fungal contaminants or pathogens that may affect seed health, germination, and subsequent crop growth.

  • Fundamentals of Seed Pathology. Role of healthy seed in plant growth.
  • Healthy cereal and pulse crop seeds: Cornerstone of global agriculture and food systems.
  • Seed-borne microflora: Identification, Biology, Symptoms, Transmission.
  • Estimation of seed mycoflora from cereal and pulse seeds by using Agar Plate Method and Standard Blotter Technique
  • Estimation of seed mycoflora from cereal and pulse seeds by using Seed Washing Test and Deep-Freezing Method
  • Dtermination of seed germination by using Blotter method and Multi-pot tray method
  • Dtermination of seed germination by using Earthen pot method
  • Preparation of Pure Culture and Permanent Slides of Seed Mycoflora
  • Identification of the pathogenic as well as endophytic mycoflora from the seeds
  • Identification of the pathogenic as well as endophytic mycoflora from the seeds
  • Determination of Moisture content of seeds
  • Determination of seed index or test weight of seeds
  • Quarantine regulation and Role of Seed Certification
