Isolation and characterization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria isolated from organically grown high yielding pole type native pea (Pisum sativum L.) variety Dentami of Sikkim, India.

ABSTRACT: Organic farming is an eco-friendly and sustainable farming practice that enhances soil fertility and helps in improving soil quality. But with the commencement of more sophisticated advances in agricultural techniques, organic farming has gradually become limited in the world. Culture-dependent plant growth-promoting bacterial isolates were isolated from the bulk and rhizospheric soil, of the native high yielding pole type organic pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivar Dentami of Dentam, West Sikkim, India. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing identification of these isolates, it was found that from the bulk soil, Actinobacteria (58%) was the dominant phyla followed by Firmicutes (28%), and Proteobacteria (14%). In the rhizospheric soil it was dominated by Proteobacteria (56%), fol
