Pseudomonas fluorescens R68 assisted enhancement in growth and fertilizer utilization of Amaranthus tricolor (L.)

Abstract: Plant probiotic potential of rhizosphere microbiome and its role in phytofertilizer mobilization are largely unexplored. In the current study, the rhizobacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens R68 (PFR68) isolated from Western Ghat was analyzed for its growth enhancement effect on the leafy vegetable Amaranthus tricolor (L.). One month of field growth of PFR68 inoculated A. tricolor has found to have enhanced growth parameters such as leaf number (1.57 fold), root number (1.76 fold), shoot length (1.28 fold) and fres… Show more

“…1). The bacterial isolates used in the study have been demonstrated to have efficient growth enhancement effect in various plant systems (Jimtha John et al 2017). Hence, the result can be due to the colonization of selected bacteria on V. unguiculata.…”

“…However, the NPK treatment, P. monteilii (BF2P5‐1), and P. fluorescens (BF4P2‐5) recorded significantly higher plant biometric attributes. Several authors have reported increased plant height using Pseudomonas species (Dharni et al., 2014; Jimtha John et al., 2017). Seed germination and plant growth depend on nutrient availability.…”

“…Generally, this group associates with plant roots in a beneficial way because it plays an important role in increasing plant growth, and soil fertility and also acts as a biocontrol agent for plant pathogens [5]. Groups of soil bacteria such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Azotobacter, and Rhizobium are reported as prominent PGPR [3,6,7]. There are PGPR groups that live freely in the plant root area and are symbionts or endophytes in the root tissue.…”
