Abstract

Experiments were conducted at the Crop and Environmental Laboratory of the Joseph Sarwuan Tarka University (formerly, Federal University of Agriculture), Makurdi to assess the occurrence of seed-borne fungi on nine varieties (Kampala, Kwankwaso, Jawunde, Samnut 21, Samnut, 22, Samnut 23, Samnut 24, Samnut 25 and Samnut 26) of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and to test the effect of ginger (Zangiber officinale) extract on Aspergillus niger and Fusarium verticilloides. Detection of seed-borne fungi was done by standard blotter methods while mycelial growth of A. niger and F. verticilloides were recorded on potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium. All the experiments were carried out in Completely Randomized Design replicated as appropriate. The fungi detected were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium verticillioides, Fusarium solani and Botryodiplodia theobromae. A. flavus and A. niger were the most predominant fungi encountered. A. niger was significantly (p
