Abstract
The present investigation deals with the isolation and identification of aeromycoflora of Banana field from Baramati Area, District Pune, Maharashtra
(India). The area was selected because banana crop fields one of cash earning crops in mentioned survey area. Aeromycoflora which is refers to the airborne
fungal spores in the atmosphere. A large number of airborne microfungal particles or spores were found in outdoor or open crop fields and generally widely
distributed in nature. The assessment of aeromycoflora in banana crop fields was performed during month of August-2019 to February-2020. The culture
plate exposure method was carried out for the isolation of fungal species. This aeromycological study shows total 23 fungi belongs to members from subdivision
Ascomycotina, that was found 34.78% and were most frequent followed by Deuteromycotina 26.08%, Mastigomycotina 17.39%, Zygomycotina
8.69%, Basidiomycotina 8.72% and least member from sub-division Myxomycotina 4.34% were also reported. These studies in relation to phytopathology
will put forth much useful results for implementation of cheaper and better preventive measures.
