Abstract
The quantitative and qualitative phyllosphere microfiora of some crop plants, forest trees, plantation crops and weeds were studied by using Dickinson's leaf surface washing method and leaf maceration method. Both methods showed different trends of poplution in the leaf surface 'Of the plants studied. In general, bacterial population was predominant of leaf surfaces of all plants and amongst bacteria gram-ve and coloured species were more in number. Amongst different plant groups maximum population was recorded from leaves of crop plants, followed by weeds. forest trees and plantation crops. By leaf surface washing method no fungal colonies could be detected from the samples of sunflower (Helianthus annus), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) and jamboo neralle (Syzjgillm cumifli) whereas, by leaf maceration method low fungal population was recorded from the samples of these plants. The bacterial and fungal isolates from phyllosphere were tentatively identified as species of Alcaligens, Bacillus, Corynebacterium, Kleb· siella, Lactobacill lls .
