On the phylloplane of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.), Aspergillus spp. was observed as ectophytic as well as endophytic in all the growth stages of mungbean (vegetative, flowering and harvesting stage). Alternaria sp and Colletotrichum sp were observed in the harvesting stage as both ectophytic and endophytic mycoflora. Curvularia sp., Cercospora sp., Fusarium sp. and Penicillium sp. were observed during all three stages while, Ampelomyces sp. were noticed during the vegetative stage as ectophyte. Macrophomina sp. and Rhizopus sp. were prevalent during the harvesting stage as ectophytes. Because Ampelomyces sp. is a hyperparasite on excess powdery mildew fungi, it is employed as a bio-fungicide
