A study was conducted to evaluate the potential of fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates against important endemic diseases of barnyard millet. A total of ten pseudomonad isolates, collected from rhizospheric soil samples of barnyard millet, were studied, out of which three fluorescent Pseudomonas isolates (UUHF Psf- 1, UUHF Psf-2 and UUHF Psf4) were selected for testing under heterogeneous field conditions on the basis of their in vitro performance against the conducted biocontrol traits viz., Phosphate solubilzation test Siderophore production test and HCN production test. | Management of important endemic diseases of barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.) by the use of bio-control agents in mid hills of Uttarakhand, India
