Abstract: Sixteen lentil rhizobacteria were isolated at nutrient agar medium. Out of which, twelve isolates showed antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis. All the antagonistic isolates produced diffusible and volatile antifungal metabolites. The isolates 10 and 14 showed a maximum antagonism 72% and 68.6% respectively. All the antagonistic isolates showed PGPR activity such as phosphate solubilization, IAA production and ammonia production. Isolates produced IAA ranging from 1.25 to 3.61 ug/ml. The highest amount of IAA was produced by isolate 14.
Keywords: Antagonistic activity, PGPR, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis, PGP traits
