Abstract

The present study was aimed to investigate aeromycoflora of APMC fruit market of Vashi, Navi Mumbai was conducted during two consecutive seasons from August to October, 2019 and August to October, 2020. During this period Pear (Pyrus communis L.) are abundant in the fruit 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 pear fruits in the market. Twenty five aeromycoflora were trapped from the air over the fruit market and the Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea, and Mucor piriformis are the three most common causative factors of pear rot and loss.
