Abstract
A Preliminary study was
conducted to identify the microfungi in saline soils of Pulicat lake, Tamil
Nadu. A total of 8 genera belonging to 12 species were isolated during the
study period. The fungal species recovered from the soil samples include Aspergillus
terreus, Aspergillus niger, Stachybotryssp., Aspergillus spp., Penicilliumspp.,
Yeast form and Sterile forms. Hyphomycetes group were dominated among the
microfungal assemblage of saline soils. Aspergilli represented more number of
species and was found most abundant compared to other fungal species. Six
fungal species were tested for the weedicidal activity in which Aspergillus
niger showed promising activity against the Lemna sp.
