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 non-rhizosphere 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.

Key words: microflora, non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere
