Abstract

A mycological survey was carried out on rice samples harvested in 1997 and 1998 from Entre Ríos province, belonging to the main production area of Argentina. The relative density and isolation frequency of the prevalent fungi were statistically compared between locations and harvest seasons. The genusAlternaria was the most prevalent component of the internal seedborne mycoflora in the two harvest seasons. Fungi belonging to the generaPhoma, Fusarium, Microdochium, Penicillium andAspergillus were also isolated. The predominant species of these genera wereAlternaria alternata, Phoma glomerata, Fusarium graminearum, Microdochium nivale, Penicillium citrinum and Aspergillus flavus.
