Analysis of Soil Mycoprofile of Botanical Garden of Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab, India.

Navtej Singh, Ramandeep Kaur*

Abstract


The samples used for this study were obtained from different rhizosphere garden soil source. The fungi isolates were Aspergillus spp., Curvularia sp, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Fusarium sp, Fusarium solani, Mucor mucedo, Myrothecium sp., Paecilomyces sp., Phoma sorghina, Rhizopus stolonifer, Sterile mycelium Yeast sp.. and Verticillum spp.  Some physiological studies show the range of pH from pH 4.92 in CSSS to pH 8.01 in PLRS sample sources. The soil pH values obtained in this study were near neutral ranges, which favour microbial growth. Various species of fungi were encountered in soil sources including the harmful ones. Hence, fungicides can be applied occasionally on these soils to reduce the fungi load in these areas when necessary.Data obtained in this study is valuable to monitor and protect the environment including agriculture products for sustainable economic development.

Keywords
