Abstract:
Knowing the health of the barley caryopsis holds an important place in this plant’s pathology and help the establishment
of its control measures, with major consequences in obtaining a high production in terms of quantity and quality. The
researches on barley seeds micoflora were carried out in "in vitro" conditions and the biological material used was
consisted of untreated barley caryopsis from several varieties: Andrei, Mareşal, Mădălin, Compact, Amical and Dana.
The micromycetes’ identification realised by successive isolation and sub-culturing on them in culture medium PDA
(Potato Dextrose Agar). The pathogens were incubated in thermostat at a temperature of 220C. The identified
micromycetes belonged to the next classes : Alternaria sp.- 45%, Drechslera sp.-31%, Macrosporium sp-10%,
Fusarium sp.-5%, Rhizopus sp.- 4%, Penicillium sp.- 2%, Aspergillus sp-3%. From the analyzed varieties the most
affected were: Mareşal, Mădălin and Compact. The micoflora detected on the analyzed barley caryopsis did not inhibit
their germination process.
