The aim of this work was to study the fungal diversity in Paspalum notatum, in order to determine the potential biological control of disease-causing pathogens and their effects on growth promotion. Two isolates of Cercospora dianellicola were identified from asymptomatic P. notatum leaves, as an endophytic species. The possible benefits for the host plant remain to be analyzed.
