Abstract

A study has been conducted on the Exploration and Identification of Indigenous Phosphate-Solubilizing Fungi from Dengen plants in the Buttu Forest area of West Sulawesi. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of phosphate-solubilizing fungi (JPF) to dissolve phosphate from rhizosphere fungi of dengen plants in the Buttu Puang protected forest area. The research method began with taking soil samples from around the roots of dengen plants in the Buttu Puang protected forest area. Next, the isolation of JPF)was carried out using a specific medium, namely pikovskayamedium, and continued with JPF potential tests qualitatively and quantitatively. The obtained isolates were then identified macroscopically and microscopically. The research data were visualized in the form of tables and figures, and explained descriptively. The results of the study showed that from three sampling locations (DG 1, DG 2 and DG 2), 13 fungi isolates were obtained that could grow on pikovskayamedium. The qualitative test results showed that the highest activity was seen in isolate DG 1.2, while the quantitative test results showed that the highest activity was seen in isolate DG 3.4. This indicates that the ability of fungi to solubilize phosphate can be determined through qualitative or quantitative activity only or both of them.
