Fungi occurring on seeds of fodder galega (Galega orientalis Lam.)

Abstract

Laboratory experiment were caried out to isolate fungi from the seeds of goat rue cultivated with and without fertilization. Additionally, kind of medium (PDA and mineral medium) and mean of preparation seeds, were factors differentiated number of fungi. Species such as Alternaria alternata (51,6%) and Botrytis cinerea (20,4% of total colony) were isolated from seeds most frequently. From combination without fertilization 7,2% more isolates were obtained. Mineral medium and superficial disinfection of seeds had reducing influence on number of isolates.
