Abstract
A simple sand-live soil assay method for large scale screening of the rhizosphere-competent bacteria, effective in suppressing plant pathogens has been developed. Screening for chickpea rhizosphere competitive bacteria having biological control property was conducted at three different stages: development of screening method for large scale initial selection of bacteria isolates from chickpea rhizosphere, testing of biocontrol activity under in vitro conditions and screening of antibiotic resistant mutants for rhizosphere competence in nonsterile field soil, which assay is used to disclose one NBRI 1303 (ATCC 55939) which is effective in suppressing plant pathogens, including and Phthium sp. in chickpeas and the purified bacterial strain can be used as active agent for biocontrol compositions and can also be used for enhancement of chickpea plant growth and yield, as well as for the production of antibiotics directed towards phytopathogenic fungal diseases.
