Five fungicides were evaluated for the control of postharvest spoilage of Pinus gerardiana seeds caused by Penicillium citrinum. Fungal infection caused quantitative and qualitative seed damage. A carbendazim dip at 750 p.p.m. for 10 minutes was the most effective treatment for reducing seed spoilage. Oil content was max. in carbendazim-treated seeds followed by thiophanate-methyl treatment. Total proteins were highest after carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl treatments.
