Abstract

Fusariumspis one of pathogenic fungi that cause wilt disease in paddy. However, they can be control by endophytic fungi which isolated within paddy plant itself. This study aims to isolate and evaluate the type of endophytic fungi from rice plant that have the potential to inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungus particular Fusarium sp. The endophytic fungi were purified and identified on the basis of their morphological and structural characters. Pathogenic evaluation was performed in vitro and in vivo for anti-fungi and germination consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications. The obtained data was analysed using One Way ANNOVA. The results found the two endophytic fungi associated in paddy namely Nigrospora sp and Trichoderma sp. Between those, Tricoderma sp exhibited the higher germination (80%) and inhibitory power (45.7%) compared to another. Hence, this study recommended Tricoderma sp for further anti-fungi research against Fusarium sp.
