Sorghum hybrid CSH 14 seeds harvested in 1992-95 were given various pre- and postharvest treatments against grain mycoflora. Field spraying plus postharvest seed treatment with thiram (0.2%) + carbendazim (0.2%) in a 1:1 ratio was effective in controlling seed mycoflora and also showed higher germination and vigour index in all study years. The storage studies also indicated that the higher the intensity of grain moulds in the field, the lower the life of seeds in storage. The predominant fungi associated with the seeds of sorghum hybrid CSH 14 were Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata [Cochliobolus lunatus], Drechslera sorghicola [Bipolaris sorghicola] and Fusarium moniliforme [Gibberella fujikuroi].
