From the present investigation it is clear that seed-borne fungi are threat to health of rice seeds. Thus, situation demands that due attention should be paid to health status of rice seeds prior to sowing. Seed treatment may be a quick technique, applicable in this regard as it reduces or eliminates seed-borne fungi and also increase seed germination. Seed treatment with plant extracts is an eco-friendly measure in controlling seed-borne pathogens. Seed treatment with garlic extracts @ 1:1 dilution significantly increases seed germination of three varieties and also effectively controls the seed-borne fungi of rice. It was also found that neem extracts (1:1) and chirata extracts (1:1) also effective against seed-borne fungi. As chemical is hazardous to our ecology, serious threat to our terrestrial and aquatic species of animal, use of plant extract is essential for maintaining sustainable environmental condition. At present, when human population is crossing its limit, the destruction caused by different pathogens of crops is possing serious problem. The imbalance between populations arises and agricultural production creates shortage of food. Under this situation it is essential that we should aim at obtaining maximum production from our limited area. In these efforts, there is a need for matching the production technology with protection technology. If we continue putting our efforts only to production of crops without protecting them, the self-sufficiency in food will remain only a dream. So, we should practice seed treatment before sowing as a routine practice to achieve sustainable agricultural production. But the study of one season and only laboratory experiment is not sufficiently enough. This emphasizes the need of undertaking further comprehensive research with more varieties, plant extracts and field study for its confirmation.
