Abstract
In the present study endophytic fungal strains isolated from Cynodon dactylonwere
examined for their potential to secrete phytohormone such as indole acetic acid [IAA]. Out of
15 isolates 10 isolates exihibited synthesis of IAA.The ability of endophytic fungal isolates in
producing hormones IAA varied from 30µg/ml to 260µg/ml. one of the strain periconia
species produced higher amount ofIAA which was 260µg/ml whereas cladosporiumspecies
produced lower amount which was 30 µg/ml.
