Study of the Fungal Community of the Soil of Solanum melongena L.plant

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most widely cultivated solanaceous vegetable crops worldwide, grown mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. Fungi are important organisms that impact the environment. Researchers have been interested in the presence of fungi in soil and their relationship with plants. Studies in this area have been diverse, including the study of soil fungi. Microbes within and outside the root zone can directly or indirectly affect plant growth. Species isolated from both study areas included: Fusairum solani, Fusarium oxysporium, Alternaira alternata, Rhizoctiani, Aspergillius sp., Penicillium spp., Yeast, Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizopus stolonifer, Mucor sp., and Trichoderma sp. Ascomycota dominated the soilborne fungi isolated from all eggplant areas, followed by Myxomycetes, and finally Basidiomycetes. The results of the study showed that the Al-Sudair region was more abundant in fungi than the Afak region fungal similarity was found to be 72% in the Sudair region and 27% in the Afak region, according to the study. In the AL-Sudair region, the degree of fungal community (ISD) similarity was 26, but in the Afak region, it was 19.
