Isolation and functional assessment of endophytic fungi from medicinal plants for biocontrol and growth promotion in dry root rot-infected chickpea
Key Points
Endophytic fungi promoted growth and provided significant protection against dry root rot.
Field tests revealed a 45% reduction in dry root rot incidence in treated chickpea plants.
Isolation and functional assessment of fungi from medicinal plants demonstrated effectiveness in growth promotion.
Research supports the potential use of endophytic fungi in sustainable agriculture practices.
