Abstract
Plant growth promoting rhizobacterial isolates belonging to fluorescent Pseudomonads were isolated from the rhizosphere of redgram and maize. Among 15 isolates that were confirmed a Pseudomonas fluorescens three exhibited strong antifungal activity against Macrophomina phaseolina. Genotyping of these P. fluorescens isolates was made by PCR-RAPD analysis.
