Effect of Plant-Growth-Promoting Fungi on Eggplant (<i>Solanum melongena</i> L.) in New Reclamation Land

Land reclamation may expand the supply of usable land for food security. Immature soil is not suitable for plant growth and needs to be amended by the addition of organic matter and plant growth-promoting (PGP) microorganisms. However, the effects of different PGP fungi on plant growth in immature s...

The result of this study revealed that isolate HZ123 had the highest ability to solubilize P and produce siderophores and IAA, followed by HZ23, HZ10, and HZ06. Based on the results of morphological and molecular analyses, isolate HZ06 was identified as <i>Penicillium oxalicum</i>, isolates HZ23 and HZ10 were identified as <i>Aspergillus brunneoviolaceus</i>, and isolate HZ123 was identified as <i>Aspergillus</i><i>tubingensis</i>.
