Fungal phyla associated with bulked soils from a commercially operated farm holding in Amukpe town, labeled as farmed soil and a nearby control site in Adavware village (control soil) both in Delta State, were ascertained with the aid of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) procedures. The concentrations of the extracted DNA samples were 0.072 and 0.057 ng/µl for the control and farmed soils, respectively. Three (3) fungal phyla; Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Chytridiomycota were detected in both compounded soils whilst the phylum Zygomycota was detected in the farmed soil.
