Keeping in view the immense importance of seed the present investigation was carried out to detect 14 seed borne mycoflora of maize variety Vivek 27 by using Agar plate method and Blotter paper method. Per cent maximum relative density, frequency and abundance values recorded in Aspergillus niger (25.164, 10.638 and 28.652) and (23.538, 9.434 and 27.174) followed by Rhizopus stolonifer (14.309, 10.638 and 16.292) and (13.652, 9.434 and 15.761), Aspergillus flavus (13.322, 10.638 and 15.169) and (13.652, 9.434 and 15.761), Aspergillus fumigatus (8.018, 8.511 and 7.303) and (7.061, 7.547 and 6.522), Curvularia lunata (8.018, 8.511 and 7.303) and (4.708, 9.434 and 5.435), Alternaria alternata (6.414, 10.638 and 7.303) and (6.120, 9.434 and 7.065) by Agar plate method and Blotter paper method, respectively. Seeds treatment with five plant products, viz. neem, tulsi, onion, ginger and garlic were tested against suppression of seed borne fungi of maize seeds variety Vivek 27 at ratio of 1:1 (w/v). Fungi suppressed after seed treatment with selected botanicals were Rhizopus stolonifer, Mucor globosus, Aspergillus candidus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, Penicillium citrinum, P. expansum, P. notatum, P. versicolor, Rhizoctonia solani, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, F. roseum and Curvularia lunata.
