Abstract

Fungal spores are approximately ten times more than pollen grains in  air. Exposed petri plate method was used to obtain qualitative  estimation respectively. Concentration of fungal spores in vegetable  market environment was examined to collect the basic information  required for further studies. Most of the fungal samples were collected  and isolated from main vegetable market of district Hapur during  January, 2022 by visual and sticky slide methods. Alternaria sp. was  found most dominant and Phytophthora sp. was the least dominant  fungus found during present study. The study also showed a common representation of many fungi in vegetable market and as well as their  occurrence in the vegetable crop fields near the vegetable market.
