Reduction of fertilizer use efficiency is the reflection of injudicious use of agrochemicals for crop nutrition and protection, such activity lead to lower organic carbon content in soil. Restoration of soil health, lowering down chemical fertilizer requirement and enhancement of microbial activity was thought and attempted in present study using native plant growth promoting fungal isolates (PGPF). Fungal cultures were isolated from different AAU farms based on their abilities to solubilize P and K mineral forms. They were further screened for pathogenicity symptoms on seed germination and seedling growth parameters. Two non-pathogenic fungi were identified as isolate T-3, Aspergillus flavipes (NCBI Access No. MW88450) and T-17, Trichoderma aggressivum (NCBI Access No. MW88453).EnglishThesis
