Abstract

These articles present a study focused on the identification and characterization of fungal species associated with spoilt fruits in India. Fungal contamination of fruits can lead to significant economic losses and pose risks to human health. This research aimed to isolate and identify fungal species from various types of spoilt fruits using morphological and molecular techniques. The study provides insights into the diversity of fungal pathogens affecting fruits in India and their potential implications for food safety and agriculture.
