The tomato leaves infected with early blight recorded the highest leaf surface fungal species than non-infected leaves. In total twenty six fungal species (thirteen genera) were isolated from both diseased infected and non-infected leaf surface of tomato from seven districts of Meghalaya, following leaf impression, leaf washing and dilution plating and leaf washing and serial dilution plating methods. Among all the three methods used leaf impression method recovered the highest fungal population followed by serial dilution plating and leaf washing and dilution plating method. The predominant fungal species found both in infected and non-infected leaves were Fusarium sp., Phoma sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp. Trichoderma sp. and Chaetomium sp. Whereas, Camarosporum sp., F. pallidoroseum and P. glabrum were recovered only from healthy leaf samples. The further investigation can be done to find the antagonistic potential of leaf surface fungi against the major foliar diseases of tomato.
