Dr. Lohare Sunita Dhundiraj

Abstract: 

The investigation of air borne fungi was carried out by operating continuous Tilak air sampler over Soybean (Glycine max) Khariff crop at Nidebanvillage, TalukaUdgir, District Latur (M.S) India. Occurrence and variations of air borne ascospores at two different seasons (I season June 2014 to October2014 and II season June 2015 to October 2015) have been observed over Soyabean field .In the present investigation it was evident that the maximum concentration of ascospores 20.69%/m3 of air were recorded during the rainy season. It also becomes very clear that there is a close relation between rainfall and release of ascospores. The maximum numbers of ascospores were found during night time than day time.
