The aim of the present investigation was to study the effect of nine pesticides and two biocides tested on fungal isolates from agricultural soil samples (Coffee,Turmeric and Vegetable) of Lammasinghi village, Chintapalli mandal in Visakhapatnam district. Nine different pesticides namely Fungicides, Insecticides and Herbicides and biocides were taken into study. During the investigation period Pencillium chrysogenum, Fusarium, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria, Aspergillus oryzae, Pencillium and Cladosporium fungal colonies were isolated. The maximum fungal counts were observed in agriculture field compared with hill area. The maximum fungal colony count (54 colonies) observed in Turmeric field and minimum count (20 colonies) observed in Vegetable field. In the hilly area the more colony count were seen in Vegetable field compared with Coffee and Turmeric. The short term inhibitory effect on the total fungal population was observed with the application of Fungicides, Insecticides and Herbicides. The study proved to be destructive on Aspergillus species by the use of Fungicides and Herbicides compared with Insecticides. The biological control did not inhibit their growth or merely in a lower degree.
