Description :
Soil samples were collected from different locations of SadakArjuni of Gondia District during the months of February 2014 to January 2015 in three intervals. The samples collected in two zones viz. rhizoplane and rhizosphere. The collected samples were inoculated in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and CzapekDox Agar (CDA) medium supplemented by antibiotics such as penicillin and Streptomycin by using Serial dilution method and soil plate method. A total of 230 colonies were isolated. About 19 species belonging to 7 genera of fungi were isolated and identified while 21 strains were unidentified. Identification and characterization of the soil mycoflora were made with the help of authentic manuals of soil fungi. Maximum number of fungal colonies belonged to Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina(191) and few to zygomycotina (18). Among the isolates Aspergillusflavus, A.fumigatus, A.nidulans, A.niger, A.terreus, Fusarium oxysporum, Penicilliumchrysogenum, Rhizopusstoloniferand Trichoderma viridaewere predominant. The percentile contribution of the mycoflora was graphically and statistically analyzed.
