During 1988-89, >300 rotten samples of 7 cucurbits (Coccinia indica [C. grandis], Luffa acutangula, Trichosanthes anguina [T. cucumerina], cucumber, Cucurbita maxima, Benincasa hispida and Momordica dioica) were collected from markets throughout Orissa in India. The results revealed that 171 of the samples were rotted by fungi and 145 samples were rotted by non-fungal agents. The fungi were identified as Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, Geotrichum candidum, Phytophthora sp., Rhizoctonia solani, Rhizopus arrhizus and Rhizopus stolonifer. Of these fungi all except R. stolonifer are new to Orissa.
