Abstract: The isolated eight fungi were found associated with fruit rot of papaya and differentiated in cultural and morphological characteristics. The fungi were identified on the basis of cultural and morphological characters. The fungi were Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes, Graphium sp., Fusarium pallidoroseum, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium solani, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizopus microspora. The pathogenicity of isolated fungi was proved by knife injury, cork borer injury, and pin prick injury methods on papaya fruits.
