Characterization of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) rhizosphere associating rhizobacteria against Botrytis fabae AAUBF-12 and their plant growth-promoting properties.

ABSTRACT: The rhizobacteria are known to protect plants from different pathogens acting as biocontrol agents and promote growth of plants. This study was conducted to isolate, screen and identify faba bean associating rhizobacteria for their antagonistic properties against Botrytis fabae AAUBF-12 and plant growth-promoting properties under in vitro conditions. In the dual culture assay, the isolates inhibited the mycelia growth of B. fabae AAUBF-12 (6-40 %) upon 3 days of incubation, and the inhibition increased to 9-43 %, 16-50 %, and 24-68 % after five, seven and 9 days of incubation, respectively. The inhibitory activity increased from 6 to 82 % using the culture filtrates of the isolates. Isolate AAUB95 displayed the highest mycelial inhibition (27 %) at 5 % concentration of
