This scholarly work presents a detailed and systematic study on the mycodeterioration of Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (Mol.)) seeds during storage conditions. The research delves into the fungal deterioration processes that affect the quality and viability of bottle gourd seeds over time, making it an invaluable reference for agricultural scientists, botanists, seed technologists, and researchers in the field of plant pathology. The study examines the various fungal species responsible for seed deterioration, the conditions that accelerate or inhibit such deterioration, and the implications for seed storage and preservation practices. This publication is particularly relevant for those involved in horticulture, seed science, and post-harvest management in the Indian agricultural context. It serves as a comprehensive academic resource for students and professionals seeking to understand the biological and pathological factors influencing seed quality during storage. A must-have reference for university libraries, research institutions, and agricultural departments.
