Presence of fungi in inert matter of rice and wheat seed samples were investigated. Sixty seven seed samples representing three rice and one wheat cultivars collected from nine seed processing centers and four contact grower zones in 13 locations of Bangladesh were analyzed for the presence of inert matter and infestation of seeds by fungi. The inert matter separated from seeds was grouped into three categories: I, broken seeds, husk and awn; II, sand and soil and III, pieces of brick, stone, fiber, hair and insects. Fungi associated with inert matter was detected following centrifugation of inert matter and subsequently plating on Agar plates both the supernatant and the sediment.
