The effect of three fungicides namely Indofil, Bavistin and biofungicide on mitotic index, chromosomal abnormalities, seed protein content, radicle-plumule length variation on lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) were assessed through a seed treatment experiments. Seeds treated with different doses (0.5%, 1%, 2%) of the three fungicides (above mentioned) solution along with control set. The systemtic fungicides (indofil & bavistin) treated seeds have the ability to induce mitotic abnormalities in large number at 2% concentration, in contrast to biofungicide, which is less toxic. However, the plumule-radicle length is highest in case of seeds treated with 0.5% bavistin & indofil and with 1.0 % in bio fungicide. The endosperm weight decreases gradually in respect to total plumule-radicle weight. In general, the toxicity of fungicide in terms of chromosomal abnormality increases as follows: indofil >bavistin >biofungicide. From the proposed study, it can be concluded that Bio fungicides are more safe than systemtic fungicides as they posed very negligible effect on cell division and chromosome profile.
