Powder based formulation of Pseudomonas fluorescens (NBAIR-PFDWD), an antimicrobial 2,4- diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) producing biotic and abiotic stress tolerant strain for diseases and Thrips species management

Technology Details:
Pseudomonas fluorescens is a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria that imparts abiotic stress tolerant ability to the treated plants. The bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens survived in high temperature, salinity with drought tolerant attributes. The isolate produces plant growth promoting enzymes like phosphatases, proteases, chitinase, cellulase, ACC deaminase and secondary metabolites like HCN that is involved in pest and disease management. The isolate was effective in the management of Thrips species from different vegetable crops and soil borne Fusarium species.
