Abstract

The region where soil and roots makes contact is called rhizosphere. The microbial growth is enhanced by nutritional substances such as amino acids and vitamins released from plant root tissues. It represents a tremendously complex biological system. The growth of plant is also influenced by the products of microbial metabolism. The inorganic phosphorus which is unavailable to plant is solubilized by fungi & bacteria. Biocontrol of plant disease is an alternative to chemical pesticides which causes environmental pollution and development of resistant strain. In the present work screening of phosphate solubilizing Trichoderma sp. from rhizosphere of red gram cultivated in Marathwada region was done by using PVK medium. Soil samples were collected from different rhizosphere region of red gram cultivated in Marathwada region. From this isolates of Trichoderma sp. were isolated & discussed in this paper. Isolates of Trichoderma sp. were identified depending upon their morphological and cultural characters. Efficient isolates of PSTS were further tested for antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis NCIM2010; E. coli NCIM2064; Proteus vulgaris NCIM2027; Xanthomonas compestris NCIM2956 & Fusarium oxysporum NCIM1281.It was observed that one isolate showed high PSE & antimicrobial activity; hence it could be exploited as biofertilizer and biocontrol agent in agriculture.
