Abstract

A present survey of aeromycoflora of APMC fruit market of Vashi, Navi Mumbai was conducted during two successive seasons from August to October, 2011 and August to October, 2012. During this period Apple (Pyrusmalus L.) are abundant in the market of Vashi. The aeromycological study was carried out by using gravity slide as well as petriplate exposure method with a view to correlating the decay of Apples in the market. Twenty five microfungi were trapped from the air over the fruit market and the Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus sp. were found to be dominant.
