In the current perusal, 12 isolates of Pseudomonas were segregated by rhizospheric soil chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Madhya Pradesh, India. Isolated test organisms characterized morphologically, biochemically and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Out 12, one isolate designated as P4 was identified aeruginosa through sequencing, which revealed 100% homology with strains DSM 50071 NBRC 12689. The phylogene...

ABSTRACT Lafoensia pacari represents an alternative to control phytopathogens and common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) diseases. This study aimed investigate the chemical composition of L. phenolics-containing extract obtained from leaves assess its in vitro vivo inhibitory activity against Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, Xanthomonas axonopodis phaseoli, fuscans subsp. fuscans,...

The effectiveness of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria especially Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates were tested against charcoal rot of chickpea both in green house as well as in field conditions. Most of the isolates reduced charcoal rot disease and promoted plant growth in green house. A marked increase in shoot and root length was observed in P. fluorescens treated plants. Among all the P....

Charcoal rot, caused by Macrophomina phaseolina, is one of the most important diseases of soybean. Genetic variability among soybean isolates has been observed but the effect of host specialization on genetic variability has not been reported. In this work, isolates from soybean, corn and sunflower were evaluated based on cross inoculations and number of microsclerotia/g of roots. The highest a...

Seed composition in soybean [Glycine max (L) Merr.] has not been well investigated under charcoal rot infestation under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions. The objective of the present experiment was to assess seed composition and nitrogen fixation under these conditions. No significant differences in protein levels in the moderately resistant germplasm line DT97-4290 were observed under th...
