Leaf surface microflora of Hordeum vulgare L.

R. R. Mishra, V. B. Srivastava

Abstract


The fungal and bacterial population of leaf surface of Hordeum vulgare L. has ben described. The phyllosphere and phylloplane regions of green and yellow leaves harboured different dominant species. Bacteria mostly suppressed the fungal growth and possibility of biological control has been suggested. The effect of three amino acids and one organic acid on leaf mycoflora has been studied by foliar spray method. Stimulatory effect of different concentrations of the acids has been noticed. Preferential growth of selected forms of microorganisms may be encouraged by the acid application to act as a mean of biological control.
