Molecular Characterization of Fungal Rhizosphere Community of Soya Beans (Glycine max (L.) Merril) and Their In Vitro Antagonistic Activity

Rhizosphere fungal community play a crucial role in the development and productivity of plants. Microscopic fungi have shown considerable promise for root pathogen control, which calls knowledge their colonization distribution rhizosphere. Herein, studies on funga associated with soya bean rhizosphere vitro antagonistic activity were studied. Soya seeds planted soils collected from rhizospheric region at maturity isolation. Molecular characterisation verified isolates' identification based macroscopic microscopic characteristics. DNA extracted PCR amplification ITS gene performed. Dual culture technique was used to screen antagonism. Eighteen comprising Aspergillus niger , A. fumigatus flavus tamari, hortai nidulans, arcoverdensis, Rhizopus delemar, Penicillium pinophilum, Paecilomyces lilacinus, Blastobotrys proliferans, Talaromyces pinophilus, Neosartorya fischeri, Botrytis cinerea, Mucor micheli, Fusarium oxysporum, Helminthosporium solani, andTrichoderma asperellum isolated beans. The most predominant species plant least abundant fumigatus. T. exhibited in-vitro against all isolates except R. delemar. These inhibitory effects ranged 7.83 83.88% tested. Interestingly, B. cinerea found be more susceptible antagonism compared other Thus, this study suggests that harbours diverse communities could explored preventing infections using biological means.&nbsp
