Abstract
Entomopathogenic fungi have been proved controlling plant pests, and most of the
entomopathogenic fungi isolated from the agroecosystem. The research was carried
out to characterize the entomopathogenic fungi diversity associated with different
agroecosystem on a different location in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Fungi of rice
field ecosystems were found more diverse than on dryland ecosystems, and the genus
was Fusarium species, Aspergillus species, Rhizopus species, Trichoderma species,
Penicillium species, Rhizoctonia species and Metharizium species. Moreover,
Fusarium species and Rhizopus species were the most frequent genus isolated from
rice field ecosystem, while on dryland ecosystems, the fungus of Metharizium species
found more frequent than Fusarium species and Aspergillus species According to a
geographical location on rice field ecosystems. The number of fungi isolated on the
regency of Gowa more numerous than regency of Sidrap, Takalar, and Pinrang.
Meanwhile, on the dryland ecosystems, three locations were the city of Makassar, the
regency of Maros, and the regency of Polman. Among three areas, the regency of
Maros founded more fungi than regency of Polman and Makassar. This study exhibits
the diversity of fungi on the rice field, and dryland ecosystems were quite different.
