Abstract
The percent frequency and number of colonies cm−2 leaf area of all the test fungi decreased significantly at the higher doses of cement dust during both pre- and post inoculation treatments. However, the population of some fungi increased at the low dose only. Stimulatory as well as inhibitory effect of cement dust on colony growth of the test fungi were observed at different concentrations of cement dust (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 μm mL−1).
