Fusarium solani (76%),Phyllosticta phaseolina (12%) andAspergillus flavus (10%) were isolated from bean(Phaseolus vulgaris) seeds showing lesions. Out of these the first two caused 30 per cent and 20 per cent seed rotting respectively after artificial seed inoculations. When inoculum was added into the soil before sowing the seed, 35 per cent and 10 per cent pre-emergence rot ocurred and there was 35 per cent and 15 per cent post-emergence blight when soil with healthy seedlings was inoculated withF. solani andP. phaseolina respectively.F. solani caused similar lesions on bean seeds when inoculated after an injury.F. oxysporum was isolated from the roots of dried bean plants showing necrosis.
