Abstract


Non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere and rhizoplane mycoflora of Adhatoda vasica Nees growing in two different soil types was studied during winter and rainy seasons. The effect of edaphic conditions and flowering period on the non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere and rhizoplane mycoflora was studied. Qualitative as well as quantitative variations in the non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere and rhizoplane mycoflora were studied in relation to soil types and seasons. The dominance of different fungal species and specific fungal groups in the non-rhizosphere, rhizosphere and rhizoplane of A. vasica was described in relation to soil types and seasons.
