Aeromycoflora and Plant Growth Regulators in Fruit Crops: A Comparative Investigation

This research investigates the influence of Aeromycoflora and Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) on the productivity and quality of Mango, Guava, Papaya, Chiku, and Sitaphal fruit crops. Aeromycoflora, which includes airborne fungal spores, plays a dual role in agriculture by either promoting beneficial microbial interactions or causing diseases that reduce fruit yield. The study analyzed the diversity and density of Aeromycoflora in different crop environments and measured the effects of PGRs such as auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins on fruit growth, size, flowering, and quality. Results revealed that effective management of Aeromycoflora and strategic use of PGRs improved fruit yield by 15-20%, especially in Mango and Guava. Additionally, fruit size, texture, and overall quality were enhanced, with fungal infections significantly reduced. Visual data in bar graphs demonstrated yield variations between treated and untreated fruit crops. Practical recommendations are provided for farmers and horticulturists to adopt Aeromycoflora monitoring and targeted PGR applications. Future research should focus on understanding regional variations in Aeromycoflora and developing sustainable, climate-specific practices for different fruit crops. This study emphasizes the importance of combining Aeromycoflora management and PGRs to enhance fruit production and ensure food security.
