Abstract

The diversity of fungi associated with rice (Oryza sativa L.) RD41 variety from Pak Phanang, Nakhon Si Thammarat province was investigated. Fungal samples were isolated from soil, stem, and leaves at each growth stage of rice plants and grains. A total of 39 species were identified, including 24 genera. Thirty-one species were found on soil and stem, 22 species were found on leaves and 14 species were found on grains. Among these, 4 species, Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium solani and Nigrospora oryzae were the dominant species found in all substrates. The diversity of fungi that were found at each growth stage of rice showed that in the maximum tiller stages had the highest fungi diversity which was following flowering, panicle formation, maturity and the transplanting stage which were 36, 35, 33, 32 and 30 species, respectively. Only one species, C. lunata was a dominant among fungi found of all growth stages of rice.
