Abstract

Airborne mycoflora disperse through the air and deposited on different surfaces and germinates causing many diseases into host on which they land. The study of aeromycoflora of particular area provides the clear view about interaction of fungal spores in the form of disease on plants. For better understanding of this phenomenon, a systematic Aeromycological survey of Satpuda Botanical Garden, Nagpur has been conducted employing Gravity plate method for late rainy season (Sept.-2018) and late winter season (Jan- 2019). During survey, altogether 3101 colonies have been recorded on nutrient agar jelly which was classified into and 39 species belonging to19 genera. A count of 2345 colonies has been recorded in the month of Jan-2019 while 756 colonies in the month of Sept. -2018. Increase in species diversity & spores concentration was reported in late winter in January-2019 (2345 colonies) against late rainy season in September-2018 (756 colonies).
