Maize is the world's one of the most significant cereal crop along with rice and wheat with several production constraints. Among the biotic stresses, diseases are one of the most important limiting factors in maize production which also include seed-borne fungal diseases. The study including the twelve genotypes from seven locations of Northern Karnataka revealed that, the pathogens like Fusarium spp., Pencillium spp., Aspergillus spp., Exserohilum turcicum, Curvularia lunata, Rhizoctonia bataticola and Rhizopus spp. found associated with maize seeds collected in seven multi-location trials. Among the pathogens, Fusarium spp. was found dominant in seeds from all the locations followed by few saprophytes and Exserohilum turcicum. The seed samples from the Bailhongal location were recorded the highest mean location infection followed by the Konnur and among the genotypes DKC 9133 recorded high per cent seed infection.
