Abstract

The present study was conducted in plant pathology laboratory; plant protection Department, College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology to investigate the occurrence of seed-borne fungi on Sorghum, maize, faba bean and phaesolus seed collected from (Khartoum-bahri) Tested for seed borne fungi, seed borne fungi recorded were Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus flavus, Alternaria Solani, Penicillium digitatum, Rhizopus, Rhizoctoni Solani and bacteria. The most prevailing seed borne fungi recorded across crops seedswere (Aspergillus Niger, Penicillium, Rhizopus, Rhizoctoni Solani Aspergillus flavus)
