title: Fungicidal elements accumulated in Cryptothecia punctulata (Ascomycetes lichen) of an arecanut orchard in South India.
abstract: Different nutrient elements were analyzed in the lichen Cryptothecia punctulata collected from the arecanut trees which were exposed to several sprays of a fungicide Bordeaux mixture. The study revealed the accumulation of fungicidal elements such as Cu, Ca and S in higher concentration of 575.4, 10,000 and 21,000 microg g(-1), respectively.
