Abstract The use of synthetic fertilizers in agricultural production has harmful impacts on the ecosystem. Therefore, there is an emergent demand for using natural and sustainable practices to save the environment. Some of the soil microflora are plant-growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) which promote plant growth and are considered potential biocontrol agents against phytopathogens. In the present investigation, 37 fungal isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere and rhizoplane of cultivated plants namely Zea mays and Vicia faba from AlRaswa Ferry and 4 isolates from halophytic plants namely Arthrocaulon macrostachum and Mesembryanthemum nodiflorum from El-gamaal area of Port Said governorate and characterized for their potential as a plant growth promotor for indole acetic acid, volatile compounds, Siderophore and phosphate solubilization production. |
