supplemented with amoxicillin (0.5 mg/ml) as an antibacterial agent. Five seeds per dish and five dishes were used for each type of seeds as replicates. A total of 125 seed samples (25 samples of each type of legume) were assayed for their fungal content. All dishes were incubated at 28 °C for 6 days. At the end of the incubation period, the developing fungi were counted, identified and calculated on 25 seeds for each sample. Fungi were identified on the basis of macro- and microscopic characteristics. All fungal cultures were confirmed by studying the morphology of colonies, microscopic examination and characterization, spore shape and colour by comparison with fungal identification references
