                          Pink, white, brown or grey fungal growth on grain. Apparently asymptomatic seed may be contaminated.
                          Many pathogens cause grain molds.
                          Grain molds on pearl millet tend to be more severe with humid conditions during grain fill and if grain harvest is delayed  
                          Several fungi cause grain molds, and these differ by the region of cultivation, crop management, environmental conditions prior to harvest, and storage conditions.
