Abstract

Investigations were made on the effect of species of fungi isolated from therhizosphere of broad bean (Vicia faba Linn.) variety Giza I, and cotton (Gossypium barbadense Linn.) variety Giza 47, on plant growth. Broad bean rhizosphere fungi differently affected plant growth.Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium martensii, Rhizopus stolonifer, andCladosporium sphaerospermum stimulated both root and shoot growth.Aspergillus niger andAlternaria tenuis have an inhibitory effect on plant growth. On the other hand, the rhizosphere fungi of cotton namely,Penicillium cyclopium, Aspergillus terreus, Cephalosporium sp.,Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium sphaerospermum, andFusarium oxysporum stimulated plant growth.
