Effect of foliar application of urea on leaf surface mycoflora of mustard and barley

D. B. Singh, Bharat Rai

Abstract


The number of fungi/cm2 leaf increased insignificantly in the first sampling on treared musttard leaves and in the first and second samplings on barley leaves. A significant decrease in the number of fungi was noted in the rest of the samplings. A little variation in the number of species was recorder between the control and treated leaf samples. Acrophialophora fusispora, Aureobasidium pullulas, Epicoccum nigrum, Fusarium chlamydosporum, Penicillium citrinum and P. rubrum exhibited favourable effect of urea and thus their percentage distribution increased on the treated leaves.
