Abstract

Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important and popular stone fruit of Kashmir Valley. Peach crop and yield is reduced every year due to number of foliicolous fungi. Extensive works on foliicolous fungi have not been carried out in Kashmir Valley. Therefore, present work was carried out to isolate and identify the foliicolous fungi infecting peach plants from Kashmir Valley. It was revealed from the present study that six species of foliicolous fungi infect different varieties of peach (Prunus persica L.) plants in Kashmir valley. These foliicolous fungi were Alternaria alternata, Wilsonomyces carpophilus, Cladosporium carpophilum, Entomosporium maculatum, Monilinia fructicola and Trichothecium roseum respectively. Most of these foliicolous fungi were reported first time from the Kashmir valley.
