The most important diseases caused by fungi in tomato seeds: A review

Abstract

Worldwide agriculture productivity and the economy are negatively impacted by plant diseases carried on by several microorganisms that are either present in the soil, seeds, or propagative planting materials, or that are conveyed by the air or water. This review provides a wealth of information about the importance and frequency of different types of seed-borne mycoflora such as Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp., Rhizopus spp., Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., Colletotrichum spp. which is specifically linked to tomato seeds. These mycoflora cause devastating tomato diseases such as grey mold, fruit and root rots, Fusarium wilt, early blight, and foot rots, and evaluate a variety of contemporary and traditional methods that are used to identify seed-borne fungi and to implement various control measures, such as chemical and biological approaches that scientists have chosen. Many variables, such as the presence of vulnerable plants, ideal environmental circumstances, and overhead watering, pose significant barriers to the spread of plant diseases. In these circumstances, an efficient disease management strategy consists of monitoring plant health and detecting diseases, especially by screening infested seed lots before planting with the use of seed detection assays.
