Abstract	Abstract: Chilly is one of the major crop productions in tropical and sub-tropical regions. Present research was aimed to study the effect of fungicide and biofungicide on seed borne mycoflora and growth of chilly (Capsicum annuum L.). Chilly seeds were treated with biofungicide (Cow urine, Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Trichoderma viride) and distilled water treated seeds were used as negative control and fungicide (Bavistin and Mancozeb) treated seeds as well as hybrid seeds were used as positive control. Standard blotter method was used to assess seed borne mycoflora, greenhouse studies viz., vigour index, chlorophyll test, thin layer chromatography, phenol test were conducted to study growth promoting ability of the treatments. In blotter method, six different seed borne fungi were identified namely, Alternaria sp., Colletotrichum sp., Cladosporium sp.1, Cladosporium sp.2, Curvularia sp, Rhizopus sp. green house studies revealed that highest growth was recorded in hybrid seeds and protection from fungal pathogens was observed in fungicide (Bavistin and Mancozeb) treated seeds and least in control (distilled water) seeds. Among biofungicide treated seeds Trichoderma viride stands best followed by Neem, cow urine, Turmeric treated seeds. Which is in par with the growth promotion offered by hybrid seeds and protection offered by fungicide treated seeds. Our results highlight that use of hybrid seeds or fungicides can either promote growth or offer protection respectively but use of bio fungicide will enhance overall growth and also offer protection to chilly seeds.
