Onion is one of the most important commercial vegetable crop properties throughout the world including India, and it is cultivated in three session it present anti-inflammatory anticancer properties and it cause virus, bacteria, Mycoplasma and fungi are the major causing disease of onion. So present investigation was studied to effect of mycotoxin to seed germination, root shoot length and seedling growth on selected fungi on three varieties of onion seeds, Stemphylium vesicarium was hampered on Nashik red, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is less seed germination local red onion seeds. Root length on Nashik red due to short toxin on botrytis cinerea, Fusarium and Penicillium, Fusarium oxysporum is reduce the shoot length. In seedling growth chlorosis was observed in culture filtrate third day of Aspergillus niger, Fusarium equiseti and fifth day curling and wilting was observed on Alternaria porri and Aspergillus niger.
