In years 2003-2004, a survey on samples from rice reproduction seeds from seed reproducing firms was carried out in order to evaluate the quantity and quality of mycetes belonging to the genus Fusarium and the sanitary state of rice reproduction seeds. The percentage of infected samples, infected seeds and the species of Fusarium on seeds were determined. The collected data showed that the number of samples infected by Fusarium is quite high (50.5-100%) and the percentage of infected seeds is pretty low (1-5.4%). F. semitectum was found to be the most frequent species. Rice seeds must be treated with fungicides active against Pyricularia oryzae, Bipolaris oryzae and also Fusarium, especially F. semitectum, since its spread on rice reproduction seeds is increasing

Abstract
In years 2003-2004, a survey on samples from rice reproduction seeds from seed reproducing firms was carried out in order to evaluate the quantity and quality of mycetes belonging to the genus Fusarium and the sanitary state of rice reproduction seeds. The percentage of infected samples, infected seeds and the species of Fusarium on seeds were determined. The collected data showed that the number of samples infected by Fusarium is quite high (50.5-100%) and the percentage of infected seeds is pretty low (1-5.4%). F. semitectum was found to be the most frequent species. Rice seeds must be treated with fungicides active against Pyricularia oryzae, Bipolaris oryzae and also Fusarium, especially F. semitectum, since its spread on rice reproduction seeds is increasing
