In the current study, a total of 25 isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere and roots of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) from the vicinity of Una district of Himachal Pradesh. The isolates were tested in vitro for their ability to solubilise phosphorous and produce siderophore, indole acetic acid (IAA), hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and antifungal metabolites against the soil borne pathogens. Results revealed that out of 25, only 4 rhizospheric isolates (SB 5 , SB 11 , SB 8 and SB 10 ) have maximum plant growth promoting attributes. The isolates were identified as Bacillus sp. on the basis of Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology. The isolate SB 11 recorded highest phosphate solubilizing efficiency in solid medium (109.09%) and in liquid medium (350µg/ml). Maximum production of IAA (51.96µg/ml), siderophore (91.41%) and HCN were also observed for the same isolate. Furthermore, the isolate SB 11 produced highest antifungal metabolite production against Rhizoctonia solani (37.11%), Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (41.11%), and Pythium sp. (71.11%) causing root rot, stalk rot and damping off diseases in cauliflower, respectively. The selected isolate (SB 11 ) showed optimum growth at a pH of 7.0, 35°C temperature and 2% NaCl. On the basis of multifarious PGP-traits the SB 11 isolate has tremendous potential to be used as a biofertilizer/bioprotectant for growth promotion and natural protection of cauliflower under low hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh.
