Abstract: In the parts of East Khandesh region of Maharashtra groundnut is grown as Kharip and Rabbi Crop. The fruits are sold as fresh or in dried form and stored in houses of farmers. Fungi like Absidia corymbifera, Aspergillus acaleatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. tereus, A. astus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium oxysperum, Humicola sp., Penicillium funiculosm, P. varians, Phytophthora undulate and Rhizoctonia bataticola discover and damage. The kernels (Joffe and Borut, 1966; Gupta and Chohan, 1970). Seed borne fungi of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) are responsible to deteriorate and degrade kernels quality during storage practices. In these studies, an attempt was made to note the biodiversity of dominant fungal organisms like Aspergillus flavus, Rhyzoctonia bataticola, and Penicillium sps. Fusarium sps and so on.
Keywords: Groundnut seeds, Fungal biodiversity, East Khandesh, Soil fungi
