Effect of seed bacterial endophytes on stem rot and growth promotion in groundnut
Effect of seed bacterial endophytes on stem rot and growth promotion in groundnut
Keywords:
Endophyte, Groundnut, Growth promotion, Stem rotAbstract
Seven bacterial endophytes from peanut seeds were isolated and tested against Sclerotium rolfsii of groundnut
under in vitro. The endophyte isolate EGN1 showed 47.3% inhibition of the pathogen and biochemical tests were
positive for siderophore, protease and phosphate solubilization.
