Abstract
Endophytic aquatic hyphomycetes, Campylospora parvula and Tetracladium setigerum, recovered from the roots of riparian plants, Pilea scripta and Debregessia sp., respectively, were used to treat wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) through pot experiments for assessing their effect on the growth and development of the plant. Both endophytes were effective in enhancing the growth of the test plant significantly (p<0.01). The increment in plant growth was measured in terms of length (shoot and root), diameter (shoot and root), total fresh weight and total dry weight of test plants in comparison with the control plants. Both endophytes served as significantly affective (p<0.01) wheat growth promoters. The present findings strongly support the utilization of these endophytic fungi as plant growth promoters. In the future, these strains deserve to be used as bio-fertilizers to increase the yield of agricultural crops.
