Abstract:
Fungal infections pose a significant threat to agricultural crops, including ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula) and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) affecting seed quality, germination, and overall crop productivity. The current study aims to investigate fungal infections in ridge gourd and watermelon seeds, focusing on the prevalence, identification of common fungal pathogens, and strategies for their management. The study involves laboratory analysis and experimentation to determine the severity and diversity of fungal infections in ridge gourd and watermelon seeds. Treated and untreated seeds of ridge gourd and water melon were collected. All the four types of seeds were inoculated on wet blotting paper in the petriplates according to standard blotting method. Water was added once a day to maintain moisture content. After 7 days fungi growing on seeds were isolated, identified and percentage of infection and germination was calculated. The findings contribute to a better understanding of fungal diseases in ridge gourd and watermelon and provide insights into effective disease management practices for sustainable ridge gourd and watermelon cultivation.
