Title : In vitro evaluation antagonistic ability of Plant Growth Promoting Microbes against Alternaria solani, causal agent of early blight of tomato.

Abstract :

Present investigation was carried out with a total of four previously isolated antagonist microbes viz., Pseudomons fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringinesis and Trichoderma viride. Results showed that consortia of T. viride, P. fluorescens, B. thuringinesis and B. subtilis has the highest inhibiting capability against the pathogen with 45.92% inhibition followed by T. viride, P. fluorescens, B. subtilis with 37.84% inhibition in vitro. And the lowest inhibition was recorded in treatment of B. thuringinesis alone with 9.62%. Moreover, in net house the highest disease intensity was recorded in control with 84.42% incidence and the lowest incidence (10.27%) was recorded in the treatment of consortia of T. viride, P. fluorescens B. thuringinesis and B. subtilis. Lowest yield was recorded in the untreated control with 0.482kg/plant whereas the highest yield was found in the consortia of four (1.712 kg/plant).
