Cowpea, an annual legume, suffers from several disease symptoms caused by Macrophomina phaseolina. Rhizobacteria isolated from pesticide infested soil, identified by blast analysis as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus safensis, Pseudomonas donghuensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ascertained tolerant to at least 0.1% pesticides viz. methomyl, imidacloprid and carbendazim. In vitro antagonism against pathogen exhibited maximum by P. aeruginosa 63%. All rhizobacteria were bestowed with attributes responsible for pathogen control and plant growth promotion. Field evaluation resulted highest 75% disease control, enhancement of length, nodule counts, biomass or yield per plant by P. aeruginosa. All rhizobacteria induced systemic resistance in cowpea under challenged inoculation with pathogen by augmenting defensive enzyme production. Highest Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyase activity was expressed in P. aeruginosa treated plants 1.02 μMoles/ml/min, Polyphenol Oxidase by P. donghuensis 1.39 μMoles/ml/min, Chitinase by B. cereus 0.745 μMoles/ml/min and 400 percent relative activity of Peroxidase by P. aeruginosa. The rhizobacteria were prospective for plant disease control, growth promotion and as immunity boosters in pesticide and heavy metal infested toxic environment.

This study explored the role of viable cells and active metabolites in the seed-coating preparations of living Streptomyces globisporus in plant growth promotion and disease control against Verticillium wilt of cotton. Pot experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of seed coating with living (LA), inactivated (IA), and 10-fold diluted living (DLA) preparations of S. globisporus Act7 and Act28 on plant growth performance and disease index of cotton seedlings under attack by Verticillium dahliae. Compared with the control, leaf greenness was increased by 50.0–70.1% across all the three treatments of Act7 (LA7, IA7, and DLA7), and the leaf area of LA7- and DLA7-treated seedlings was increased by more than twice (p < 0.05). DLA7 also increased shoot weight by 62.2%, while IA7 and DLA7 improved plant biomass by 30.4% and 72.1%, respectively (p < 0.05). The root vitality of IA7- and DLA7-treated seedlings was enhanced by 69.1% and 75.8%, respectively. The disease index of Verticillium wilt was reduced by 31.9% (LA7), 25.0% (IA7), and 66.7% (DLA7) after treatments. The effects of Act28 preparations were similar to those of Act7 preparations. Through the combined action of viable spores and active metabolites, seed coating with an appropriate dose of living S. globisporusan can considerably promote plant growth and improve root vitality, while reducing the incidence of Verticillium wilt in cotton seedlings under attack by V. dahliae.
