Influence of meteorological factors on atmospheric fungal spores over crop canopy of rice in West Bengal, India with reference to major fungal diseases
Mouli Saha
Abstract:Rice is a major cereal crop and staple food for the people of India. Fungal spores in the atmosphere are considered to be one of the most potent bio-pollutants, which are pathogenic to rice crops having direct impact on our food security. The aim of the present study was to assess the concentration of airborne fungal spores over a paddy field in relation to meteorological parameters and disease severity with an objective to prepare an efficient forecasting system for most important fungal diseases.
