Potential of PGPR application for seed spices with special reference to coriander and fenugreek in India
The seed spices such as coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.), fennel Foeniculum vulgare M.) and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), are cultivated in India predominantly in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Major constraints of seed spice cultivation include low fertility of soils, poor input management, low germination, slow initial growth and high susceptibility to diseases and frost. The plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are reported to alleviate both biotic and abiotic stress in several crops. About one hundred and seventy rhizosphere and endophytic bacteria were isolated from coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek and Eruka saliva. From these collections, twenty five isolates with beneficial traits were shortlisted. From the shortlisted strains, two promising isolates were selected based on greenhouse evaluation. These were identified as Pseudomonas putida (FK14), and Microbacterium paraoxidans (FL18) using biochemical and molecular tools.
