abstract = {Fifteen fungi were obtained from arsenic-contaminated agricultural fields of West Bengal, India and examined for their arsenic tolerance and removal ability in a previous study. Of these, four best arsenic remediating isolates were tested for plant growth promotion effects on rice and pea in the present study. A greenhouse based pot experiment was conducted using soil inoculums of individual fungi. Results indicate significant (p<0.05) increase in plant growth and improvement in soil properties in case of inoculated soils compared to control. Significant increase in plant growth were recorded in treated soils and varied from 16-293%. Soil chemical and enzymatic properties varied from 20-222% and 34-760%, respectively in inoculated soil. Plants inoculated with inoculums of Westerdykella and Trichoderma showed better stimulatory effects on plant growth and soil nutrient availability than Rhizopus and Lasiodiplodia. These fungi improved soil nutrient content and enhanced plant growth. These fungi may be used as bioinoculants for plant growth promotion and improved soil properties in arsenic contaminated agricultural soils. }
