Rhizobacteria promoted yield of cucumber plants grown in perlite under Fusarium wilt stress

Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in sustainable production of vegetables: Current perspective

“…Priming of seedlings with selected PGPR strains in other study reduced Fusarium root rot of cucumber to as low as 10% and significantly increased the dry weight of whole cucumber plants up to 62% and fruit yield up to 32% in comparison to the non-bacterized control (Egamberdieva et al, 2010). In a similar study, Gül et al (2013) reported that the yield of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum affected cucumber plants were significantly increased following inoculation of PGPR strains belonging to P. putida, Serratia marcescens, Bacillus spp., and P. fluorescens and one commercial formulation of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, compared to the control plants.…”

“…The PGPR is one of the most important and agronomically useful soil microbiota that involves free living growth promoting rhizobacteria (Lutenberg and Kamilova, 2009;Bhattacharya and Jha, 2012) and widely studied symbiotic nodule bacteria, for example, rhizobia (Peix et al, 2015). The microbiological preparation including those of PGPR often called as biofertilizers "a substance which contains living microorganisms which, when applied to seed, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant (Vessey, 2003)" when applied to seeds and/or soils, have been found to affect the growth of horticultural crops (Esitken, 2011) including vegetables, for example, potato (Singh, 2013), tomato (Bernabeu et al, 2015), brinjal (Seymen et al, 2013), cucumber (Gül et al, 2013), radish (Yildirim et al, 2008b), chilli (Silva et al, 2013) and lettuce (Chamangasht et al, 2012) and broccoli (Yildirim et al, 2011). The effects of PGPR on crops growing in different agronomic regions may range from neutral (Ahemad and Khan, 2011) to positive to deleterious (Akello et al, 2007).…”

Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Emerging as an Effective Bioinoculant to Improve the Growth, Production, and Stress Tolerance of Vegetable Crops

“…Biofertilizer contains living microbes that colonize and promote plant growth by enhancing nutrient availability to the host plant [51]. The application of microbial biofertilizers to seeds or soils promotes the growth and yields of vegetable crops, such as bottlegourd [52], brinjal [53], broccoli [54], cabbage [55], carrot [56], chili [57], cucumber [58], lettuce [59], potato [60], onion [61], pumpkin [62], radish [63], and tomato [64]. The application of Bacillus strains improved growth under greenhouse/field conditions of several vegetable crops, such as broccoli, cucumber, lettuce, pepper, and tomato [65][66][67].…”

Alleviating Continuous Monocropping Obstacle in Melon: Biological Elimination of Phenolic Acid

“…Similarly, bio-organic fertilizers supported by P. polymyx and B. subtilis effectively suppressed Fusarium wilt disease in melon caused by continuous cropping [8]. Biocontrol bacteria could alleviate crop diseases effectively and ensure the normal growth of cucumber by inoculating Bacillus spp., Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and other bacteria for disease regulation [51]. In line with previous research, the pot experiment in the current study was conducted with continuous monocropping soil treated by K3, in which horticultural characteristics and biomass of melon were signi cantly improved.…”
