The present investigation was undertaken to understand the incidence of different fungal biopollutants in atmosphere over brinjal field during Kharif season by operating Rotorod sampler and Petri plate exposer method. Altogether, 48 types of biopollutants were identified of which 43 belonging to fungal spore type and remaining 5 types belonging to group 'other types'. Out of the total 43 fungal spore types, 25 belonged to Deuteromycotina, 13 to Ascomycotina, 2 to Mastigomycotina, 2 to Zygomycotina, and 1 to Basidiomycotina. Cladosporium, Alternaria, Curvularia, Aspergilli, Nigrospora and Epicoccum were the dominant spore types. From Petri plate exposer method, 431 colonies were isolated, which were assigned to 16 genera with 13 genera of Deuteromycotina (75.55%), 3 to Mycelia Sterila (14.27%), 2 to Zygomycotina (8.34%), and 1 to Ascomycotina (1.85%). The relationship among incidence of these biopollutants in the air, changes in the meteorological conditions and the results are discussed.Keywords

The paper highlights the physico-chemical characteristics of eight freshwater bodies of Khatav Tahsil in Satara district of Maharashtra during winter and summer seasons. Investigations are based on different parameters, pH, EC, TDS, TSS, DO, BOD, COD, total alkalinity, total acidity, chlorides, free CO2, hardness, nitrates, phosphates, sulphates, etc. for which no earlier reports are available on these waterbodies. The study revealed significant changes in water quality during the two seasons. pH of water was alkaline; EC, hardness and alkalinity tend to increase during summer and decrease in winter. DO was maximum during winter, and minimum during summer. The seasonal variations of various factors were studied and interrelationships existing between them discussed.Keywords
