Abstract
Cucurbits are one of the most important groups of vegetables and fruits. Soil samples and fruits of cucurbits were collected and analyzed for the presence of mycofloara. Seven different fungi were isolated using agar plate method. Isolations were made from the soil and fruits of family Cucurbitaceae viz., Cucumis sativus, Cucumis melo, Cucurbita pepo and Luffa cylindrica. Fungal genera isolated were Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, A.fumigatus, A.niger, A.nidulans, A. unguis and Fusarium oxysporum.
