ABSTRACT
Plant growth-promoting potential root associated bacteria naturally colonizes the plant roots and has positive effects on plant growth and physiology. The importance of growth promoting potential of root associated bacteria in plant productivity has recently been attracting a great deal of attention. Pesticides have become the part of modern day agriculture, but they are found to have deleterious effects due to their non-degradable nature and residual effects on non-target organisms. Their excessive and unreasonable use causes stress and yield loss in addition to deterioration in soil health. Taking into account the major use of pesticides which has lead to the contamination of various strata, the present study was aimed to isolate plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and their application on pesticide degradation. Different rhizospheric soils were collected from agricultural regions of south Gujarat. Total 11 isolates were obtained and were characterized morphologically, biochemically, enzymatically and were checked for their plant growth promoting activities. All the obtained isolates were also tested for their ability to degrade the varying concentration of pesticides under given culture conditions. Six isolates with desired traits were selected and studied for plant growth promotion by performing Seed germination assay. Amongst 6 isolates both RS-7 and RS-10 were found to have N2 fixation, phosphate, potassium, zinc solubilizer, HCN production, phytohormone production and pesticide degradation abilities. Additionally, results of seed germination assay, showed remarkable increased in root and shoot lengths of the RS-7 and RS-10 isolates as compared to control. Hence RS-7 and RS-10 isolates were further used for the production of liquid and solid biofertilizers. Pot experiment was carried out to study the effects of laboratory produced biofertilizers on the wheat and rice seeds.
