The experiment aimed at determining the fungal infection of pea and yellow lupin seeds from plants grown under water and mineral stresses. The results showed that water stress increased the fungal infection of pea and yellow lupin seeds, as compared with the control. A lowered health status was also seen in seeds from plants exposed to a lowered-to-1/4-of-the optimal fertilization with phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. It was observed that the greatest fungal infection was recorded on the seed coat, lower - cotyledons and the lowest - embryonic axis
