This study was carried out to investigate the germination of four fungi under non-leaching and leaching incubation. The range of germination rates of Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerium, Mortierella, and Helminthosporium sativa incubated on sand saturated with various solutions without leaching were 90-99%, 31-45%, 38-62% and 86-98% respectively. The range of germination rates of Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerium, Mortierella n. sp and Helminthosporum sativa incubated on sand undergoing leaching were 51-63%, 13-25%, 15-37% and 47-80%, respectively. The germination rates of the four fungi tested were suppressed under leaching incubation.
