SIGNIFICANCE OF SEED BORNE

DISEASES ON CROP PRODUCTION IN

BANGLADESH

OBJECTIVES

To know about the seed borne pathogen and seed

borne diseases of important economic crops.

To concern about the annual loss of crop production

by seed borne diseases.

To know about seed infection, their establishments

and seed borne plant infection.

To ensure about the seed health standard and field

health standard of notified seeds.

To know about the management or control of the seed

borne diseases.

SEED: Any plant part such as root ,stem,

leaf,bulb,rhizome etc.containing viable embryos

used as propagative unit or the fertilized

matured ovule constituting the genetic

potentiality capable of germination to produce

new plants for desired harvest is called seed.

SEED BORNE DISEASE

Any malfunctioning of host or plants

those results from continuous

irritation by a pathogenic agent which

are carried by seed and transferred to

the plants and leads to development

of symptoms are called seed borne

diseases.
