Contenido atmosférico de esporas de «ganoderma» p. Karst. en la atmósfera de Valladolid

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to test the airborne spore content of Ganoderma P. Karst in Valladolid, which was monitored during 2005-2006. The number of spores count was 2,100 and 3,563, respectively, being the main spore season (MSS) registered since mid July until the end of October. The meteorological parameters that influenced airborne spore concentration during the MSS, significantly and in a positive way, were maximum temperature and winds from NW whereas rainfall and wind velocity did it negatively. The intra-diurnal pattern was very similar for the three models used, reaching a highest hourly concentration percentage around 6 a.m.
