Four varieties of finger millets seeds were collected from Pulse Research Station, Berhampur, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology on 08 March, 2021. The varieties are Arjuna, Kalua, Bhairabi and Subhra. The visual and microscopic examination of infected seed samples were carried out to study the abnormal, discolored seeds and the fungal bodies present with them. Isolation of fungi associated with finger millet seeds were carried out by taking from randomly 400 seeds from the composite seed sample by standard moist blotter method. Twenty seeds per petri plates, after surface sterilization by 1% sodium hypochlorite solution for one minute. The fungal growths of different fungi obtained on seeds were transferred on PDA petri plates.
