Potential for improving pea production by co-inoculation with fluorescent Pseudomonas and Rhizobium

摘要: Seed bacterization with five plant growth promoting fluorescent Pseudomonas strains isolated from Indian and Swedish soils three Rhizobium leguminosarumbiovar viceae were shown to promote in Pisum sativum L. cv. Capella. Co-inoculation of the pseudomonads improved terms shoot height, root length dry weight. Both exhibit a wide range antifungal activity against pathogens specific pea. alone together rhizobial isolate, R 361-27 reduced number infected peas grown Fusarium oxysporum infested soils. We found that introduced organisms able colonize roots, which was confirmed using immunofluorescence staining drug resistant mutant strains. In synthetic culture medium, all produced siderophores, express antibacterial activity. Our results suggest potential use these bacteria induce disease suppression sustainable agriculture production systems.
