Twenty seven fungal species were reported from the seeds of six cereals. The fungal metabolites played significant role in reducing the number of population of seed mycoflora. Fungal metabllites of A. flavus, Fusarium oxysporum and F. moniliformae were more effective as they showed 100 percent germination inhibition and ischolar_main and shoot elongation of all cereals.
