Abstract

The present investigation deals with growth of various types of fungi on the seed of charoli and almond at different temperature and humidity levels. For such assessment seeds of charoli and almond were kept in different temperature ranging from 10 to 40C and also at different humidity level ranging from 54% to 94%. Many species of fungi were found on seed coat of charoli and almond, but among them predominant were Aspergillus and Rhizopus.
