Assessment of Plant-Pathogenic Fungi in Anthill Soils

 This study aimed at assessing the presence of plant pathogenic fungi in soil samples collected from the immediate vicinities of anthill mounds and adjacent areas. Soil samples were collected from anthill mound and their corresponding adjacent soils, from four sites located in Ekosodin and Ugbowo respectively with both locations sited in Benin City, Nigeria. Enumeration, characterization and identification of fungal isolates were done using standard mycological methods.
