Utilization of actinomycetes having broad-spectrum of plant growth promoting and biocontrol traits in chickpea, sorghum and rice
Plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii (causes collar rot), Fusarium oxysporum (causes wilt) and Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot/dry root rot) have a broad host range, affecting several agriculturally ...
Direct and indirect plant growth-promoting abilities of Bacillus species on chickpea, isolated from compost and rhizosphere soils
A study was carried out to test the effect of
direct and indirect plant growth-promoting traits of bacteria,
isolated from compost and rhizosphere soils, on
chickpea. A total of 74 bacteria were isolated from herbal
vermicomposts ...
Evaluation of Plant Growth Promoting Actinomycetes on Vigna
The legume genus Vigna are grown in warm temperate and tropical regions globally but are particularly crucial to human nutrition in
large parts of tropical Africa and Asia. It can also serve as forage crops. Among the Vigna ...
Plant growth-promotion by Streptomyces spp. in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Seven strains of Streptomyces spp.: BCA-546 (KF770898), BCA-659 (KF770889), BCA-667 (KF770888),
BCA-689 (KF770899), BCA-698 (KF770900), CAI-133 (KF770895) and CAI-8 (KF770890), reported earlier
to produce biocontrol and ...
A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents by Endophytes
Endophytes are the microorganisms which colonize the internal tissue of
host plants without causing any damage to the colonized plant. The benefi -
cial role of endophytic organisms has dramatically documented worldwide
in ...
Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Insecticidal activity of a novel fatty acid amide derivative from Streptomyces species against Helicoverpa armigera
Helicoverpa armigera, an important pest causes serious damage to grain legumes. The main objective of this study was to isolate and
identify the metabolite against H. armigera from a previously characterised Streptomyces ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Management of Soil-Borne Diseases of Grain Legumes Through Broad-Spectrum Actinomycetes Having Plant Growth-Promoting and Biocontrol Traits
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) are the two important grain legumes grown extensively in the semiarid tropics (SAT) of the world, where soils are poor in nutrients and receive inadequate/erratic ...
Exploring plant growth-promotion actinomycetes from vermicompost and rhizosphere soil for yield enhancement in chickpea
tThe main objective of the present study was to isolate and characterize actinomycetes fortheir plant growth-promotion in chickpea. A total of 89 actinomycetes were screened fortheir antagonism against fungal pathogens of ...
