Abstract: Aerobiology is a scientific approach focuses the biological microorganisms in the air their release in atmosphere, dispersion, deposition, and their impact on living beings. Air contains number of different particles like fungal spores, pollen grains, viruses, bacteria, dust particles, insect parts etc. The Present aerobiological investigation was carried out at Nashik District by using Tilak Air sampler. Continuous air monitoring operation was done for 92 days during the months of January to April i.e. Rabbi Season during the year 2014. Airborne catches trapped over the groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) field includes 45 fungal spores, hyphalfragments, insect parts, pollen grains etc. the article defines the definite correlation between the air borne microorganisms, meteorological parameters, growth stages of the crop plants and their impact in bringing about the disease incidence to the ground nut crop plants. A volumetric Tilak Air Sampler was used to trap airborne biological components, which incidentally provided continuous quantitative and qualitative data. Present investigation aimed to study the population of microorganisms prevailing in the ambient air over the groundnut fields in one rabbi Crop season.
