Abstract
Six different varieties of date-palm viz. Sukhari, Saggae, Rotana, Kholasi, Rashoodia and Nabtat Ali, were screened for seed-borne fungi. Eleven species belonging to nine different genera of fungi were isolated. The genera isolated were Alternaria, Eurotium, and Fusarium (two species), Aspergillus, Drechslera, Penicillium, Rhizopus, and Curvularia (one species each). This is the first record of seed-borne fungi from Phoenix dactyliera L. in Saudi Arabia.
