Abstract
A field survey was conducted in 12 districts of Assam viz., Jorhat, Golaghat, Nagaon, Marigaon, Goalpara, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, Lakhimpur, Dhemaji, Sivsagar, Kamrup and Barpeta. A total of 92 root samples were collected and 37 bacterial isolates were isolated from commercial banana cultivars. The culture filtrates extracted from 37 endophytic bacterial isolates, were screened against southern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in vitro and under pot culture studies. The five bacterial isolates viz., EB4, EB8, BC1, BC11 and BC12 showed 100% inhibition of egg hatching and juvenile mortality of M. incognita with an exposure period of 48 and 72h. On seed bacterization, with these five promising isolates, two isolates viz.EB4, BC1 significantly enhanced germination percentage (33.33, 25.31%) and vigour index (75.5, 64.39%) of paddy, receptively. The potential bacterial isolates viz., BC1 and EB4 were identified as Lysinibacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp., respectively , based on the morphological phenotypic and biochemical characterization. The pot culture experiment revealed that the bacterial endophytes viz., Lysinibacillus sp. (BC1) Pseudomonas sp. (EB4) significantly reduced the soil (61.64, 56.71%) and root nematode population (77.29, 68.87%), number of adult females (73.97, 69.89%), egg masses (85.63, 80.11%) and root-knot index (1.33, 1.67) of M. incognita compared to untreated control. The bacterial endophytes viz., Pseudomonas sp. (EB4), Lysinibacillus sp. (BC1) were also significantly increased the growth parameters viz., shoot length (43.33, 39.18%), and root length (78.24, 59.26%) and pesudostem girth (58.38, 52.13%).
