Abstract

Rhizobacteria are group of bacteria that active in colonizing plant rhizosphere. Rhizobacteria can promote plant growth and control plant pathogen. The aim of this study is to obtain isolates of rhizobacteria which have the ability promote seedling growth. Method used in this study based on in planta screening technique of rhizobacteria from chilli pepper rhizosphere from endemic are of bacterial wilt disease. Isolates obtained then characterized by morphological and physiological. 43 isolates of rhizobacteria obtained introduced to chilli seed (108 cfu/ml) and 2 weeks old seedlings. Parameter observed in this study are incidence and severity of bacterial wilt, plant growth and yields. This study found that 20 isolates can increase growth rate of chilli pepper seedlings.
