Isolation of Endophytic Bacteria and its Commercial Application as PGP for Sustainable Agriculture to Improve Crop Yield
Author(s): Ghorpade SM*, Gorwadkar VR* and Kharmate AV
Background: Utilization of endophytic bacteria in order to increase productivity may be viable alternative to organic fertilizers. The goal is to reduce soil pollution and to preserve environment in the spirit of ecological agriculture. Any organism that at some part of its life cycle, colonize the internal plant tissues without causing any type of harm to the host plant are endophytes. Endophytes are known to promote plant growth and nutrient gain. They may improve the plant’s ability to tolerate various types of abiotic and biotic stresses, and enhance the resistance of plants to insects and pests. This study was carried out to isolate beneficial endophytic bacteria from various sources and to screen and identify plant growth promoting activities of isolated bacteria. Further to study field effects of best found endophytic bacterial isolates and its commercial.. Read More»
