Screening of Leaf Surface Mycoflora Over Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle) in Winter Season
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Fungal spores constitute a significant fraction of airborne bioparticles. The present investigation deals with the study of leaf surface mycoflora of hibiscus sabdariffa in winter season with the help of gravity petriplate method. Maximum percentage contribution showed by Cladosporium cladosporioides (19.80%), followed by Fusarium pallidoroseum (15.84%), Aspergillus niger (9.75%) Cladosporium oxysporum(4.29%) , ,Curvularia lunata (3.93%), Alternaria alternata (3.63%), Aspergillus flavus (3.30%). Environmental factor on the percentage frequency and contribution of leaf surface mycoflora were also discussed.
