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.
