Abstract
Pathogenicity of twenty fungi isolated from sunflower seed intended for sowing. was tested on three sunflower cultivars (Ho-1, SMH-13, Suncome-110) seedlings and plants by appropriate recommended methods for different fungi under test and Kock's postulate's proved. Out of the twenty fungi studied, 15 fungi. Alternaria alternata. A. helianthi, A. zinniae, Curvularia lunata. Fusarium culmorum. F. moniliforme, F. semitectum, F. oxysporum. F. soloni. Macrophomina phaseolina, Myrothecium roridum. Phoma oleracea, Phomopsis helianthi. Stemphylium healianthi and Verticillium dehliae were found to be pathogenic on sunflower. Of the sunflower cultivars used in the pathogenicity test. Ho-1 was found most susceptible to the pathogens whereas Suncome-110 showed variable trend to different pathogens. Fusarium culmorum, F. moniliforme and F. semitectum were found to be less agressive as compared with F. solani and F. oxysporum.
