 ABSTRACT

In recent times, there has been a renewed interest in the search of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for sustainable crop production. PGPR are beneficial bacteria that colonize the plant roots and enhance the plant growth by a wide variety of mechanisms. The use of PGPR steadily increasing in agriculture and offers an attractive way to replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Rice is an economically important food crop, which is subjected to infection by a host of fungal, viral and bacterial pathogens. In this study, an attempt was made to generate point map of rhizospheric soil samples collected, isolation and enumeration of native Pseudomonas population from the rice rhizospheric samples and to identify the native Pseudomonas fluorescens strains,a potent biocontrol agents as well as PGPR in the rhizosphere under UV light and further characterize them morphologically and culturally.

Key words: Pseudomonas, Characterize, Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
