Fungicide Treatments of Blackgram Seeds for the Control of Storage Fungi

Blackgram seeds treated with five fungicides were stored for several months. Up to the initial storage period of three months, the effect of fungicide treatments on the yield potential of the stored seeds was not exhibited. But Thiram and Captan treatments maintained the potential for five months or more, while that of seeds treated with other fungicides or untreated. declined markedly.
