The partial decomposition rate was observed low in the month of May with collected leaves on 30 Dec. 30 Jan. 28 Feb. and 30 March at Jochira Gangotri Fruit valley of District Uttarkashi Uttarakhand. The Keywords interaction between collection date and category was found highly significant. Eighteen micro-organisms were isolated and identified to parasitize saprophytically on apple leaves Venturia inaequalis but only four isolates namely Athelia bombacina Trichoderma harzianum Chaetomium Cooke. G. Wint globosum and Myrothecium roridum were further evaluated for their effect on reducing antagonists Cow primary inoculums of V. inaequalis. A single pre-leaf fall spray of 5 urea was urine Uria apple significantly decomposed the over wintered leaves and were on par or superior in Article Info effectiveness as compared to the 100 cow urine antagonists and carbendazim. Similarly the application of urea at 3 and 5 .
