An experiment was conducted during May-August 1989 to find out the occurrence of fungal flora in a seed sample of okra (Hibiscus esculentus L.) produced in a private seed-production plot and their management by using newly released and common seed protectants. The seeds on incubation showed association of a number of pathogenic fungi. The seed sample was treated with slurry of carbendazim (Bavistin), chlorothalonil, flutolanil, thiram and triflumizole separately at different concentrations. Carbendazim was highly effective in the control of most of the seed-borne fungi, except Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler and actinomycetes. Triflumizole 0.30% was highly effective in the control of A. alternata, but was less effective in that of Fusarium species. However, chlorothalonil 0.30% was less effective in controlling A. alternata but was more effective than triflumizole in controlling Fusarium spp. Thiram was next in its efficacy. Treatment with all the fungicides increased the seed germination (%), seedling growth and vigour.
