TLDR
Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the potential of the use of bacilli plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for control of Phytophthora blight on squash, finding certain PGPR strains applied as 2-, 3-, and 4- strain mixtures significantly reduced disease severity.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient soil microorganisms: A new dimension for sustainable agriculture and environmental development
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the contributions of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and cyanobacteria in safe and sustainable agriculture development, and describe the contribution of these organisms in agricultural development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Identification of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria from Cucumber Rhizosphere and Their Effect on Plant Growth Promotion and Disease Suppression.
TL;DR: Cucumber plants grown from seeds that were treated with these PGPR strains displayed significantly higher levels of germination, seedling vigour, growth, and N content in root and shoot tissue compared to non-treated control plants, indicating their ability to suppress Phytophthora crown rot in cucumber.

TL;DR: A strong protection against early blight disease was observed in PGPR-pretreated tomato plants infected with Alternaria solani which is in accordance with the presence of siderophores, HCN, chitinase and glucanase in the isolated PGPRs.

Nirmal Renuka,Radha Prasanna,Anjuli Sood,Amrik Singh Ahluwalia,Radhika Bansal,Santosh Babu,Rajendra Singh,Yashbir Singh Shivay,Lata Nain +8 more
TL;DR: A positive correlation was observed between soil nutrient availability at mid crop stage and plant biometrical parameters at harvest stage and the promise of such microalgal consortia as a biofertilizer for 25% N savings and improved yields of wheat crop was revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixtures of Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhance Biological Control of Multiple Plant Diseases and Plant-Growth Promotion in the Presence of Pathogens.
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the two individual PGPR strains and their mixtures exhibited both biological control of multiple plant diseases and plant-growth promotion and the levels of disease suppression and growth promotion were greater with mixtures than with individual PG PR strains.

Induced Systemic Resistance and Promotion of Plant Growth by Bacillus spp.
TL;DR: Two products for commercial agriculture have been developed, one aimed mainly at plant growth promotion for transplanted vegetables and one, which has received registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for disease protection on soybean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mixtures of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Enhance Biological Control of Multiple Cucumber Pathogens
TL;DR: There was a general trend across all experiments toward greater suppression and enhanced consistency against multiple cucumber pathogens using strain mixtures, and PGPR-mediated disease suppression was observed againstangular leaf spot in 1996 and against a mixed infection of angular leaf spot and anthracnose in 1997.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced systemic resistance to cucumber diseases and increased plant growth by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria under field conditions.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PGPR-mediated ISR was operative under field conditions with consistent effects against challenge-inoculated angular leaf spot and naturally occurring anthracnose, along with significant effects on early-season plant growth promotion and yield enhancement.

Use of mixtures of fluorescent pseudomonads to suppress take-all and improve the growth of wheat.
TL;DR: Fluorescent Pseudomonas strains were tested alone and in combinations for the ability to suppress take-all in greenhouse and growth chamber tests and to enhance the growth and yield of wheat in fields infested with Gaeumannomyces graminis var.
