Abstract

Screening   of  fungal   population  was  done  from  the  rhizosphere/rhizoplane  of  BLSB  infected   maize   fields from   different   locality   of  District   Bahraich.  Ninteen   species   were   isolated   from   rhizoplane   and  twenty­ three  species from  rhizosphere.  Rhizoctonia solani and Aspergillus flavus were  dominant  in  serial  dilution whereas  Aspergillus flavus was  dominant by  Warcup  method.
