Nutrient Agar Plate technique resulted one bacterial isolatePseudomonas sp from tomato seeds. Sprout of seeds of six tomato cultivars assorted from 68-80%. Themaximum germination rate was counted from Ratan (80%), but the minimum (68%) at Monirampuri. Amongthe doses of all three plant extracts, 1:1 dilution of garlic, neem and allamanda extracts showed significantperformance in controlling seed borne pathogens and increasing germination of tomato seeds.
