Garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important vegetable crop grown during winter season in Odisha. A number of seed borne pathogens affect seed which reduce seed quality and cause seed borne diseases in the field, adversely affecting yield and quality of produce. A study on thirty-six farmers’ seed samples collected from eight districts to analyse the health status of Garden pea were found to possess seed germination 10-15% which is below IMSCS (i.e. 75%) and carried 40.1-46% fungal count on seeds. Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium sp. and Pencillium sp. were fungi frequently associated with seeds which caused 24.4-55.6% reduction in germination and caused rotting of seed and seedling shoot and root.
