Response of mulberry cuttings to arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation under controlled conditions Open
Mycorrhizal association with the plants has always proved to influence crop growth in a big way through increased availability of nutrients particularly phosphorus to them. Isolation of native AM fungi, their multiplication and re-inoculat…
Influence of application of microbial consortium on established mulberry plantation under temperate climatic conditions Open
Bio-fertilizers or microbial inoculants are now being increasingly and effectively used in various agriculture crops with reduced synthetic fertilizer input. The idea is not only to reduce the cost of production but also a step in raising …
Isolation and characterization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria associated with pea rhizosphere in North Himalayan region Open
PGPR are naturally occurring soil bacteria which actively colonize plant root and benefit plants by promoting growth. They help in providing atmospheric nitrogen, increase supply of other nutrients, produce plant hormones, enhance other be…
Role of Polyethylene Glycol in Screening the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Cultivars for Root Traits under Water Stress Conditions Open
Drought is increasingly becoming a serious challenge reducing common bean productivity. A study was conducted with the objective of evaluating common bean cultivars against different concentration levels of Polyethylene glycol which induce…
Solubilization of Phosphorus Containing Mineral by Bacteria from Rhizospheric Region of Walnut (Juglans regia) Open
Microbial biodiversity in the soil plays a significant role in metabolism of complex molecules and help in plant nutrition. Phosphate solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) increases availability of phosphorus, therefore reducing the application of c…
Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi on Soil Chemical Characteristics in Apple Orchards of Kashmir Himalaya Open
An attempt was made to analyze the correlation between physico-chemical factors of soil with distribution of AM fungi under temperate conditions in different apple orchards of Kashmir Himalaya. Ten villages from district Pulwama were selec…

Altitudinal and depth-wise micro nutrient indexing of high density apple orchards in North Kashmir, India Open
A total of forty five soil samples collected from twelve representative profiles of high density apple orchards were analyzed for fertility parameters (Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe and B) using the standard procedures. Interestingly, significant differe…
Evaluation of PGPR Isolates for the Management of Beans Wilt Caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli Open
Fungal pathogen F. oxysporum (Schlecht.) f. sp. phaseoli Kendrick and Synder was isolated from the infected roots of bean plants. Microscopic examination revealed that the mycelium was septate which produced microconidia and macroconidia. …
Isolation and characterization of Pseudomonas from oil spill soil under temperate climatic conditions Open
The present study was carried out for isolation and characterization of Pseudomonas from oil spill soil and 10 isolates were isolated from different locations employing different morphological and biochemical attributes and on the basis of…
View article: Isolation and characterization of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizospheric soils of apple (Malus Domestica)
Isolation and characterization of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizospheric soils of apple (Malus Domestica) Open
Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can promote the dissolution of insoluble phosphorus (P) in soil, enhancing the availability of soluble P. Thus, their application can reduce the consumption of fertilizer and aid in sustainable agricul…
Morphological and biochemical studies for the identification of Lactobacillus plantarum sp. nov., and Lactobacillus fermentum sp. nov., from municipal waste Open
Two predominant strains of Lactobacillus were isolated from the municipal waste in Kashmir valley. The cells were non-motile rod cells, Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, catalase, Oxidase and urease negative. Colonies were smooth and round…
