EVALUATION OF THE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN NATIVE RHIZOBACTERIA ISOLATESSaswati Pradhan1 and Manoj Kumar JenaAbstract Compatibility between the Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) microbes to colonize the root system without inhibiting each other is a pre-requisite for successful benefit of using multiple microbes in a crop field. Taking this into account, the present investigation was conducted to test the compatibility between different native rhizobacterial isolates in-vitro in the Plant Bacteriological Laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Mohanpur, Nadia, West Bengal during 2021-22. All the efficient and native rhizobacterial isolates tested were compatible with each other under in-vitro conditions except BRB 88 and BRB 89, BRB 35, BRB 42, BRB 52, PR 19; BRB 89 and BRB 35, SM 9, SM 14; BRB 35 and PR 19; BRB 42 and PR 18; BRB 52 and SM 9; CK2LPP and CK2LP12, GP2, GP8, G11SP37, K11SP4, SS2LP; CK2LP12 and GP2; GP8 and K11SP4; SS2PLP and SS2PP; GP2 and G1SP37, SS2PP; G11SP37 and K11SP4; SS2PP and S21SP14; BRB 88 and CK2LPP, GP2; PR 16 and SS2PP, S21SP14; PR 20 and GP8; BRB 52 and CK2LPP, CK2LP8, GP2, GP8; BRB 56 and GP2, GP8; SM 9 and CK2LPP, CK2LP8, CK2LP12, G11SP37. |
