Abstract The sheath blight disease of rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani is widely prevalent and one the most destructive diseases, affecting cultivation loss worldwide. In present study, a set twenty Bacillus isolates from saline soil Uttar Pradesh were tested for their biocontrol activity against R. with aim to obtain potential strain control toward ecofriendly sustainable agriculture. results dual‐culture assay scanning electron microscopic studies showed that RH5 exhibited significant...

The use of Trichoderma isolates with efficient antagonistic activity represents a potentially effective and alternative disease management strategy to replace health hazardous chemical control. In this context, twenty were obtained from tomato rhizosphere evaluated by their against four fungal pathogens (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporoides Rhizoctonia solani). production extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes tested was also measured....
Plant protection through siderophore producing rhizobacteria (SPR) has emerged as a sustainable approach for crop health management. In present study, 220 bacteria isolated from tomato rhizosphere were screened in vitro antagonistic activity against Rhizoctonia solani AG-4. Nine potent strains viz., Alcaligenes sp. (MUN1, MB21, and MPF37), Enterobacter (MPM1), Pseudomonas (M10A MB65), P. aeruginosa (MPF14 MB123) fluorescens (MPF47) identified on the basis of physiological characters 16S rDNA...
Endophytic bacteria are common residents of living host tissue and occupy vital role in sustaining crop growth health under adverse environmental situations. At present, scanty information is available about the salt-tolerant plant promoting (PGP) endophytic bacilli from pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum). In study, 102 Bacillus strains root, leaf stem region pear were isolated limited to 28 depending on salt (≥10%) tolerance ability. Phenotypic biochemical features, together with 16S rDNA...
Bipolaris species are known to be important plant pathogens that commonly cause leaf spot, root rot, and seedling blight in a wide range of hosts worldwide. In 2017, complex symptomatic cases maydis (caused by maydis) maize spot Curvularia lunata) have become increasingly significant the main maize-growing regions India. A total 186 samples 129 were collected, from 20 sampling sites India explore diversity identity this pathogenic causal agent. 77 isolates 74 lunata screened based on...
Increased soil salinity poses serious limitations in crop yield and quality; thus, an attempt was made to explore microbial agents mitigate the ill effects of rice. The hypothesis mapping induction stress tolerance Since rhizosphere endosphere are two different functional niches directly affected by salinity, it could be very crucial evaluate them for alleviation. In this experiment, endophytic rhizospheric microbes were tested differences alleviation traits rice cultivars, CO51 PB1. Two...
Abstract Bacillus spp. has emerged as the most effective alternative to synthetic chemical fungicides. To get a better insight in antagonistic potential of strains, rhizospheric soil samples healthy tomato plants from Indo-gangetic plain regions India were analysed. A total 108 strains obtained preliminary screening. Potent identified on basis vitro and biochemical assays subjected diversity analysis using 16S-rDNA, BOX ERIC-PCR. Furthermore, four best performing under plant growth promotion...
