Potato Cv. Kufri Anand supported the highest number of fungal colonies (21.0 - 36.0 colonies/10 g of fresh leaf weight) while the least fungal colonies (11.2 - 28.2 colonies/10 g of fresh wt. of leaves) were on K. Bahar. The younger plants of potato Cv., K. Bahar and K. Sutlej showed least number of fungal colonies (20.2 & 27.0 colonies/10 g of fresh wt. of leaves, respectively). The more number of fungal colonies was seen from the early planted potato Cv. K. Bahar and K. Sutlej (30.5 & 37.7 colonies/10 g of fresh wt. of leaves, respectively). The fungicidal sprays, both mancozeb and ridomil MZ--72 reduced the recovery of phylloplane fungi from sprayed plots. Out of seven phylloplane fungi, only three fungi
