COMPARATIVE DIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF MICROMYCETES IN THE RHIZOSPHERIC SOIL OF SELECTED CROPS AND VEGETABLES FROM FAISALABAD AND PATTOKI
Adeela Asghar
Abstract
This study looks into the variety and abundance of micromycetes in the rhizosphere soils of selected crops (Zea mays, Saccharum officinarum) and vegetables (Raphanus sativus, Daucus carota, Solanum lycopersicum, and Solanum tuberosum) in Faisalabad and Pattoki, Pakistan. A total of 18 fungal species were discovered, including five orders, eight families, and eight genera. The Eurotiales order and Trichocomaceae family were the most common, with Penicillium as the leading genus. Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, and Penicillium simplicissimum were among the most common fungal species found in both regions. However, geographical differences were observed: Penicillium nalgiovense and Rhizoctonia solani were exclusive to Faisalabad, whilst Rhizopus oryzae and Talaromyces flavus were only discovered in Pattoki. This study demonstrates the importance of fungal variety in the rhizosphere for agricultural productivity.
