Studies on Soil Mycoflora of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Campus Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Keywords:
Soil, Fungi, Soil mycoflora, PlantAbstract
Soil is a thin, natural layer on the Earth's surface composed of minerals, organic matter, water, air, and living organisms. Soils are very complex systems, with various components playing various roles mainly due to activity of soil organisms Soil is a medium with solids, liquids and gases in which the mineral and organic particles form differently-sized aggregates that delimit. In order to assess soil conditions and promote plant growth, soil microflora is essential. Because they participate in a variety of biochemical transformation and mineralization processes in soils, microorganisms help to improve soil fertility and plant growth. Type of cultivation and crop management practices found to have greater influence on the activity of soil mycoflora. For this study we have selected the university campus sites for the soil mycoflora analysis Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar is located at latitude 19.9029080 and longitude 75.310965 0 during the study 10 different sites of university campus were taken for study among these different 10 sites the total 67 fungal species were isolated from which 37 were seen dominantly in all localities were identified among them dominant sp. like Penicillium, Alternaria genera, Aspergillus genera were seen.
