Abstract

A total of 55 soil samples collected from cattle byres in Assiut Governorate were examined for tremorgenic fungi. Asergillus species (Asp. flavus 9.8, Asp. fumigatus 7.87, Asp. niger 7.87, Asp. nodulans 3.63) Penicillium spp 5.46, Microsporum gypseum 3.63, Trichophyton terrestre 3.63 and Saprophytic fungi 49.9 (mucor mucorals 7.87, Geotrichum condidum 1.8, Cladosparum warenckii 1.8. Dematociae spp 1.8 and yeast 25.45%) were isoaltated from the soil sample.

The effect of some available fungi was investigated.
Formalin 5%, Sod. Hydroxide 30% hot solution, antigerm 50 3% can be applied with success as fungicides at room tempera ture for 3 hours exposure, while chlorinated Lime 20% "25% active chlorine" and aluminum sulphate 2% were found to be uneffective.
