Abstract
The effect or Karnal bunt (T.i.) infection on viability, germination and vigor of wheat seed was determined using the topographical tetrazolium viability test, the rolled paper towel germination test, and the accelerated aging vigor test. Infection had very little effect on seed viability, irrespective of the age of the seed, while germination of infected seed appeared to depend upon the wheat cultivar and age of the seed. In contrast, there was a signigicant reduction in vigor of infected seed. Infected seeds would therefore appear to have a lower survival rate in storage compared to healthy seeds of the same seed lot
