The Present aerobiological investigation was carried out at Manwat, Dist. Parbhani by using a device Tilak Air sampler. Continuous air monitoring operation was done for 130 days during the months of November, December, January, February & March of Rabi Season during the year 2016-2017. Airborne catches trapped over the groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) field includes total 55 airborne bio components. They have been categorized in to their five respective groups. Out of 55 air borne components, three (3) belonged to Phycomycetes, twenty two (22) belonged to Ascomycetes, four (4) belonged to Basidiomycetes, twenty one (21) belonged to Deuteromycetes, and five (5) included to other types.The percentage contribution of each spore type to the total airspora was calculated.The group Deuteromycetes was dominant with higherspore concentration 110,068/m3 of air and with 43.40% contribution, followed by Ascomycetes with spore concentration 84,140/m3 of air and 33.16% contribution, then Basidiomycetes with spore concentration 23,968/m3 of air and 9.45% contribution, then other types with 21,504/m3 with 8.48% contribution, then Phycomycetes with 13,986/m3of air with 5.51% contribution. Influence of weather factors such as humidity, rainfall, and temperature on the incidence of disease and percentage contribution of airborne components was also studied & recorded. The information provided by this research study is useful for forecasting of the air borne diseases affecting the groundnut crop and to provide the effective control measures.
