Abstract

Rhizosphere fungi from 10 varieties of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) were isolated and the effect of their culture filtrates on seed germination and seedling growth were studied. The culture filtrates of of Aspergillus inhibited seed germination and length of the seedlings. Culture filtrate of A. flavus was more effective.
