Abstract: Chickpea is an economically most important significant crop. Plant growth-promoting bacteria have been proved as potential tools not only for improving plant growth and development but also to protect host plants from stress conditions and pathogens. The present research is aimed to isolate bacteria from the rhizosphere of chickpea and to evaluate their antagonistic activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Plant growth promoting properties. A total of twenty one bacteria were isolated from four sampling sites, Out of which seventeen have displayed antagonistic activity against the pathogen of chickpea wilt. Among these seventeen isolates, elevenwere able to produce ammonia production, nine were able to produce Indole-3- acetic acid in tryptophan-supplemented medium, fourteen were able to solubilize inorganic phosphate in vitro and seven were able tosolubilize zinc.
