Fusarium moniliforme Link., Fusarium semitectum Berk. and Rav., Curvularia lunata Boedjn., Alternaria tenuis Nees., Cladosporium herbarum (Pers.) Link ex S.F. Gray. Aspergillus flavus Link., Helminthosporium maydis (Drechsl), Myrothecium roridum Tode ex. Fr., Cephalosporium sp., Epicoceum sp. and Penicillium sp. Dry examination of the different seed samples showed the presence of Ustilagnoidea virens (Cooke) Takahashi on Echinochloa colona (L) Link and conidia of Drechslera sp. (Helminthosporium sp.) in Paspalidium flavidum (Retz.) A. camus. Seed samples that showed symptoms of malformation and discoloration are those of Echinochloa colona (L) Link, Epoemoea triloba L., Paspalidium flavidum (Retz.)
