Wheat seed samples were collected from six different locations of district Poonch, Azad Jammu and Kashmir. A total of seven species of fungi belonging to species of Penicillium, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Pythium were identified. Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were predominant species in all locations. It is suggested to maintain temperature and relative humidity during storage to avoid fungal associated diseases on wheat seeds.
