Abstract

The seeds of Robinia pseudoacacia procured from 3 different seed resources, when evaluated against Fusarium spp. (i.e., F. oxysporum, F. equiseti, F. semitectum) did not differ significantly with respect to seed germination while the seedling mortality due to F. oxysporum and F. semitectum was observed maximum in Bajaura and Kinnaur seeds. Seed colour also had a marked influence in their susceptibility to wilt pathogen. Black coloured seeds gave highest (46.51%) germination and lowest (42.22%) of seedling mortality than grey and brown coloured seeds, indicating black seeds to be most resistant.
