Species richness, diversity and evenness indices of endophytic fungi communities occurring in the aerial parts of Cynodon dactylon

Incubation methodsa	Species richness	Diversity index		Evenness index
		Shannon (H’)	Simpson (D’)	Shannon (J’)	Simpson(E’)
MB	8	1.42	3.70	0.58	0.4
PDA	20	2.54	4.00	0.64	0.5
MEA	18	2.57	4.20	0.68	0.5

^aData based on the values of three different locations and data are averaged of three replicates, each incubation method with three samples (inflorescence, leaf and culm); 100 segments/sample/grass
