Abstract

The present study conducted to investigate the soil fungal diversity of Zingibere officinale Rosc. in Kannad Taluka of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar District. Rhizospheric soil collected aseptically i.e. April to December 2025. Altogether, 89 fungal species belonging to 35 different genera isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Zingibere officinale Rosc.. Species of Penicillium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Fusarium were dominant in Rhizospheric soil in all the sampling periods.
