ABSTRACT:The present paperdeals with the study of aeromycological study over safflower crop variety PBNS-40 from the vicinity of Parbhani field.The safflower,as an important oil seed crop contains 40 per cent edible oil, which has high per centage of polysaturated fatty acids like linolenic acid which helps in reducing cholesterol level. The plant is affected by several diseases including seed borne and soil borne pathogen. Therefore, an attempt has been made to study the aeromycoflorawith the help of: Tilak Air sampler and Sterilized Petriplates techniques containing Rose Bengal medium and PDA,are exposed in safflower field. During the investigations about 15 types of fungal spores viz. Alternaria,Curvularia, Cladosporium, Biospora, Basidiospores and Heliminthosporium were found to be dominant along with the pollen grains of grasses and parthenium etc. as airborne biocomponents, which helps in diseases forecasting.

Tilak Air Sampler, Aeromycoflora, Air borne components.
