Influence of Organic and Inorganic Inputs on Non-Rhizosphere Mycoflora Population and Species Diversity of Cotton Field

In present investigation a field experiment was conducted in a cotton field during 2010-2013, to study the effect of various organic inputs and inorganic inputs on Non-rhizosphere mycoflora population and species diversity in cotton field. The mycoflora population and diversity was studied by using serial dilution technique. Result observed that application of organic inputs like Farm yard manure, Beejamruth and Jeevamruth increases Non-rhizosphere mycoflora population and species diversity in organic field of cotton. The application of inorganic inputs lowers the Non-rhizosphere mycoflora population and species diversity compare to organic field of Cotton. The total 27 mycoflora species were isolated and identified from Non-rhizosphere of organic field and a total 23 mycoflora species from Non-rhizosphere of inorganic field. The isolated mycoflora species belongs to genera Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Cladosporium, Curvularia, Penicillium, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Rhizopus, Cladosporium and Mucor in both organic and inorganic field. The species like Alternaria brassicae, Chaetomium globosm, Trichoderma Koningii, Drechslera bicolar, Drechslera tetramera and Helminthosporium spp. are found in Non-rhizosphere of organic field. Overall result shows organic inputs like Farm yard manure, Beejamruth and Jeevamruth increases mycoflora diversity which helpful for maintenance of soil fertility for sustainable development.
