Abstract

Survey of fruit market of Shahdol was done from July 2007 to December 2007 to collect useful information about spoilage of fruits from stockists and resellers of fruits to obtain fungal spoilage of four selected common fruits in the market of Shahdol city of M.P. Periodic sampling from the common fruits depicted variable intensity of fungal flora. Fungal fruit spoilage of four selected fruits was studied and all 14 spoilage fungi were observed within 09 genera. The most common fungi found were Alternaria alternata, and Fusarium moniliforme. Among these species Alternaria alternata, Fusarium moniliforme, and Aspergillus niger were responsible for extensive spoilage in all four common fruits at Shahdol city. Isolated fungi showed positive pathogenesis. Results showed highest 19.95 total percentage disease incidence in mango and minimum 10.35 total percentage disease incidence in apple during study period. Therefore this study gives a brief account of mycoflora associated with spoilage of some common fruits at Shahdol city.
