Abstract

During harvesting, date palm crop is damaged due to rain falling at study area , unfortunately rainfalls at harvesting dates crop in mid of July to September months and provide max; chance for occurrence and prevalence air borne fungi . In present study ,air borne fungi at harvesting dates of different varieties (Karbalianan, Kupro and Gajar) were isolated and characterized , these fungi viz A fumigatus, A. flavus and A, niger was isolated, the fungus A. fumigatus was isolated from kupro, A.flavus observed from Gajar and A. niger was tvaluated from Karbalianan.
