The work emphasis on diversity and role of hyphomycetous fungi in agricultural soil’s of Jalgaon. Agricultural soil is one of the important habitats for microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, algae and nematodes, etc. The filamentous fungi are the major contributors to the soil biomass. It has found that more number of genera and species of fungi exists in soil than any other environment. This work will elaborate the same. In the Jalgaon agricultural soil is deep gray in color very fertile and it responds very well to irrigation. The loamy soil consists of deposits of river slits. The major crops produced in the district are banana and cotton. The other crops are chick pea, pigeon pea, sorghum, wheat, groundnut and sugarcane. The citrus and guava also an important crops of Jalgaon. Microscopic examination of soil has shown that fungi are present both as spores and mycelium. Study of incubated soil plates stained with lacto-phenol cotton blue has shown that most of the colonies develop from soil particles.
