Plant pathology is a branch of Botany, which deals with study of various types of diseases, their symptoms, effects and remedial measures. When any microorganism invades the plant, it causes serious damage to it in terms of morphology, anatomy, biochemistry and physiology. Environmental conditions also play an important role in these cases. Seed is a basic unit of life that is miniature form of the plant and helps the plant to sustain the next generation. A healthy seed is a key factor for assured healthy growth and vigour. Hence, maintenance of the quality of the seed is of vital importance in the field of plant sciences. Seed invasion by fungal pathogens is of common occurrence in case of agriculture because of which the entire crop can be spoiled. Some of the fungal pathogens can be revealed very easily due to morphological characters but some may not be. In that case, we need to use various methods apart from the conventional methods. Hence, various methods to isolate the fungal pathogens have to be implemented to detect all the possible organisms present as seed borne pathogens. In the present studies, the authors have implemented Paper Towel Method to isolate the fungal organisms from the grains of wheat and also to study the impact of various fungicides on their growth.
