Abstract

Several strains of fluorescent pseudomonas were isolated from rhizosphere of different crops. Carrierbased formulations of two of these isolates were made using talc powder. Three doses of carrier-based formulations i.e.2 g, 4 g and 6 g of two isolates viz. ZRP-3 and ZRP-5 were tested as seed treatment, soil treatment and foliar sprays. Higher doses (4 g and 6 g) were found effective in reducing disease severity of banded leaf and sheath blight of maize (18.6%-40.0%) with all three methods of application. Higher doses also enhanced germination (10.5%-25.0%) of maize seeds when used as seed treatment and soil application. 

 

Keywords: Fluorescent pseudomonads; Rhizoctonia solani; Carrier-based formulations.
