Quantitative and Qualitative Enumeration of Soil Mycoflora in Brinjal Crop Fields.

Abstract

A total of 36 species of fungi belonging to 15 genera were isolated from brinjal crop fields of Kodad. The present study results clearly revealed that the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil showed variation in diversity of mycoflora. Aspergillus was observed to be an important component of the present rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soil fungal flora constituting 70.54% and 58.96%, respectively, and Aspergillus niger was observed to be predominant species in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils.
