摘要:Fungal degradation of cotton cordages was studies under soil burial conditions with soil moisture contents varying from 5 to 30 per cent. Maximum degradation was noticed in thinner cordages at 15.25 per cent soil moisture. Sixteen fungal species were isolated from soil buried cordages and their succession was studied. Half life period of cordages during soil contact condition was determined. The time of initiation of spore formation of cordage-attacking fungi was found between 48 to 168 hours.
