Fungi associated with four chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) varieties namely Bhakar, Thal, Noor and Punjab were identified using blotter paper method. Nine fungal species namely Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., Aspergillus flavus Link, Aspergillus niger van Tieghem, Aspergillus oryzae (Ahlburg) E. Cohn, Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. Emend. Snyder & Hansen, Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid., Mucor sp., Penicillium italicum Wehmer and Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. were found associated with the seeds of selected chickpea varieties. The highest fungal incidence (100%) was recorded in Noor where all the seeds were found fungal contaminated followed by Thal (48%), Bakhar (44%) and Punjab (42%). Seed germination in surface-sterilized and non-sterilized seeds ranged from 96–100% and 88–96%, respectively. The difference in germination between surface-sterilized and non-sterilized was insignificant in all the varieties except Thal. However, radicle length was significantly lower in non-sterilized seeds as compared to sterilized ones. The highest value of correlation coefficient (r = -0.95) was recorded between P. italicum and germination followed by r = -0.72 between S. rolfsii and radicle length.
