Abstract: Different concentration of four plant extracts viz. neem, garlic, Cassia tora, and ginger extract (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) were used for testing the efficacy of plant extract against seed mycoflora of okra. In case of treatment with neem extract germination was recorded highest 81.40 % followed by 75.70 %, 62.80% and lowest was 49.28 % in the concentration of 40%, 30%, 20% and 10 % respectively, The seed treated with different plant extract, neem extract was recorded with minimum (29.61 %) frequency of mycoflora followed by Cassia tora extract (32.08 %), ginger extract (32.28 %) and maximum frequency was found in garlic extract (33.53 %). On an average among all the plant extract frequency of mycoflora was highest of Fusarium sp. (15.69 %) followed by Aspergillus flavus (13.77 %), Alternaria sp. (2.57 %), Sterile mycelium (0.89 %), Chaetomium sp. (0.76 %), Curvularia sp. (0.53 %), Nigrospora sp. (0.28 %) and lowest was Rhizopus sp. (0.08%). Memnoniella sp. was not found in all plant extracts treated seed.
