In this study thirteen isolates of Burkholderia sp. were isolated from the root, stem and leaf samples of four different crops viz., rice, maize, sugarcane and blackgram, using N-free Burkholderia Azelaic acid (BAz) semi solid medium. Based on growth performance on different media the following isolates viz., RB1 (Rice Burkholderia 1), MB2 (Maize Burkholderia 2), SB3 (Sugarcane Burkholderia 3) and BB4 (Black gram Burkholderia 4) were selected for further studies. |
