A Study of Pseudomonas Bio Control Strains for Environmental Bio Control Inoculants Applications

BIOTECHNOLOGY

The use of chemicals like fertilisers and pesticides on an indiscriminate basis has wreaked havoc on the environment and ecology, including animals and humans. Nature provides a biological remedy in the form of microbes that can boost plant development while causing minimal environmental harm. Biocontrol plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which is capable of reducing or preventing phytopathogen damage, is one of the biological techniques for the control of diverse phytopathogenic agents. Pseudomonas is the genus of bacteria that has the best biocontrol PGPR. Because of their large population in natural soils and plant root systems, and their capacity to use numerous plant exudates as fertiliser, fluorescent pseudomonads are suited for use as biological control agents. Fluorescent pseudomonads feature crucial bacterial characteristics include the capacity to cling to soil particles and the rhizoplane, motility and prototrophy, antibiotic synthesis, and hydrolytic enzyme production. Despite the fact that a number of Pseudomonas biocontrol products have been approved for use in agriculture, several limitations remain. Many strains perform well in trials, but this does not always translate into consistent, effective biocontrol in a variety of field conditions.
