Popis: Flourescent pseudomonad bacteria are the most diversified group of rhizobacteria. They occur in temperate as well as tropical soils and are predominant among bacteria associated with plant rhizospheres. Due to their innate traits such as plant growth-promoting ability, broad spectrum antagonism against phytopathogens, biofertilising capability and colonising potential, fluorescent pseudomonad bacteria have been used as biocontrol inoculants in agricultural fields to suppress pathogens, to enhance and subsequently to promote total crop yield.
