Abstract

The present paper deals with air fungal spora in different seasons of a year from January to December 1967. The maximum air fungal spora was obtained in winter season and minimum in hot dry months of summer. Different seasons exhibited different dominant fungal species. The air fungal population varied at three trapping periods i.e. 8 A.M., 1 P.M. and 6 P.M. in different seasons.
