Background and Aims: Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) constitute a diverse group of beneficial soil microorganisms that colonize the rhizosphere and enhance plant growth through multiple direct and indirect mechanisms, including nutrient mobilization and suppression of...

Soil-borne fungal and bacterial root pathogens can cause serious losses to agricultural crops. The enhancement of disease suppressive properties of soils will limit disease development, thus, being of great importance for sustainable agriculture as well as organic farming systems...
In this study, we focussed on the isolation, enumeration, distribution and occurrence of rhizomicroflora of Musa sapientum var parasidiaca and Senna occidentalis. The population, occurrence and distribution of culturable bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm d...
