All the eight fungal pathogens viz., Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Helminthosporium, Mucor, Rhizopus and Curvularia occurred in unwashed seeds whereas, only six of the eight (Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, Helminthosporium and Rhizopus) occurred in the tap water washed and cattle urine treated samples. Over all, the pathogen frequency was higher in unwashed (35.76%) and lower (14.66%) in cattle urine treated seeds.
