Abstract:This study explored acute herbicide-induced changes in soil fungal biomass, relative abundance, diversity and hyphal extension in response to five different application concentrations (1.625mg/kg -25.00mg/kg) of paraquat dichloride using the media dilution technique. There was a general decline in all the parameters investigated with increasing concentration and contact time. Of all the isolates obtained, Penicillium and Fusarium were the most frequently occurring amongst the filamentous fungi while Saccharomy… Show more
