Abstract

Plant growth can be influenced by the diversity of microbes that exist in the rhizosphere, e.g., fungi. Rhizosphere fungi found in plant roots can increase plant growth and protection against certain microbes. This study was aimed to identify rhizosphere fungi and evaluate the ability of IAA production. Research activities included isolating the fungi, identifying, and evaluating the ability of IAA production. Fungus identification observed five fungus genera (Aspergillus, Trichoderma, Rhizopus, Penicillium, and Fusarium). IAA production ability test showed that Fusarium has the highest concentration, which was 38,611 ppm. Fusarium isolates have the potency to be developed as biological fertilizers.
