The seed-borne mycoflora of sorghum and foxtail millet collected from different growing areas in South Korea were isolated and taxonomically identified using dry inspection, standard blotter and the agar plate method. We investigated the in vitro and in vitro germination rates of disinfected and non-disinfected seeds of sorghum and foxtail millet using sterilized and unsterilized soil. The percent recovery of seed-borne mycoflora from the seed components of sorghum and foxtail millet seeds was determined and an infection experiment using the dominant species was evaluated for seedling emergence and mortality. A higher number of seed-borne fungi was observed in sorghum compared to that of foxtail millet. Eighteen fungal genera with 34 fungal species were identified from the seeds of sorghum and 13 genera with 22 species were identified from the seeds of foxtail millet. Five dominant species such as Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme and Phoma sp. were recorded as seed-borne mycoflora in sorghum and 4 dominant species (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme) were observed in foxtail millet. The in vitro and in vitro germination rates were higher using disinfected seeds and sterilized soil. More seed-borne fungi were recovered from the pericarp compared to the endosperm and seed embryo. The percent recovery of seed-borne fungi ranged from 2.22% to 60.0%, and Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata and 4 species of Fusarium were isolated from the endosperm and embryo of sorghum and foxtail millet. Inoculation of the dominant seed-borne fungi showed considerable mortality of seedlings. All the transmitted seed-borne fungi might well be a primary source of infection of sorghum and foxtail millet crops.

Fungicides and antagonists were tested for their efficacy in the management of fungal pathogens of watermelon. The fungal species in different genera were isolated from the seeds of watermelon and their vulnerability was assessed against an array of chemicals and bioagents. Among the fungal pathogens, Fusarium species were effectively controlled by Bavistin. Topsin also showed the promising effects against all the fungal pathogens, and Dithane M-45 effectively controlled Didymella bryoniae. Seed treatment with antagonists like Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride improved the seed germination, seedling vigour and reduced the incidence of seed-borne fungal pathogens. Bavistin and Topsin among chemicals increased significantly the seed germination and vigour index. Trichoderma harzianum showed its efficacy against all Fusarium species and even stood effective than Captan and Blitox. However, Pseudomonas fIuorescens also showed promising effect against Didymella bryoniae over fungicides. Under field condition, Topsin and Dithane M-45 showed better yield than Bioagents.

1. 충남(忠南) 각지(各地)에서 수집(收集)한 28개(個) 콩종자(種子) sample을 blotter법(法)으로 조사(調査)하였던 바 21종(種)의 균류(菌類)가 검출(檢出)되었고, 특히 부생균(腐生菌)인 Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. 등(等)과, 자주빛무늬병균(病菌) (Cercospora kikuchii) 및 Fusarium spp. 이 많이 검출(檢出)되었다. 2. 자주빛무늬가 있는 종자(種子)에서는 무늬가 없는 종자(種子)에 비(比)하여 C. kikuchii가 많이 검출(檢出)되었고 반면(反面)에 Aspergillus spp.나 Penicillium spp.와 같은 부생균(腐生菌)의 오염율(汚染率)과 Phomopsis sp. 및 Fusarium 균(菌)의 이병율(罹病率)이 낮았다. 3. 병원성실험(病原性實驗) 결과(結果) Cercospora kikuchii, Colletotrichum dematium, Fusarium moniliforme, F. oxysporum, F. semitectum, Phomopsls sp.는 병원성(病原性)을 나타내었으나, F. equiseti와 F. solani는 병원성(病原性)이 없었다.

Czpaek agar을 이용하여, 동부품종의 콩열매에서, 11속 25종 1품종의 진균과 10% NaCl을 첨가한 배지에서 7속 18종 2품종의 진균을 분리하였다. 이때 분리된 진균의 코로니는 6716/g이였다. Czpaek 배지를 통하여 분리 동정된 균은 대부분이 Aspergillus, Pericillium, Emericella 및 Rhizopus속에 속하는 균들이였다. 위에서 소금에 내성이 강한 균으로 분리 동정된 균들은 A. favus, A. sydowii, A. tomari, A. flavipes, A. niger, A. flavar var. columnaris, A. ochraceus, A. oryzae 및 P. chrysogerism 이였다. 각각의 시료를 사용하여 Aflatoxin $B_1,\;B_2,\;G_1$ 및 $G_2$을 분석한 결과, 잔존된 것을 관찰하였다.
