An attempt was made to isolate and characterize rhizobacteria from rhizosphere soils of different crops grown in Vijayapur, Kalaburgi and Bagalkot districts of Northern Karnataka. Ten PGPR isolates and reference strain were subjected for functional characterization viz., IAA and GA production, P and Zn solubilization. Among the ten native rhizobacterial isolates, 8 isolates and reference strain produced IAA and GA. The amount of IAA and GA produced by the different rhizobacterial isolates ranged from to µg/ml of broth and to µg/ml of broth respectively. | Isolation and characterization of plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria from Northern Karnataka, India
