Abstract
South Sulawesi, especially the Sinjai area, is an aromatic rice development area that has the potential to be developed. Cultivation that is applied is still traditional and based on local wisdom that is without the use of fertilizers, pesticides and other chemical drugs, so it is expected that there is a high diversity of microorganism biodiversity in plant tissues, especially Endophytic fungi that produce the hormone Indol Acetic Acid (IAA). The purpose of this study is studying the potential of IAA hormone-producing fungi isolates from the local brown rice plant from Sinjai. Stages of research include macroscopic and microscopic observations of endophytic fungi, and IAA hormone analysis. The fungus which has the potential to produce the highest IAA hormone is P31 BMB 16E isolate (15.17 ppm).
