Twelve isolates of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) were tested for their efficacy against bacterial blight of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. cyamopsidis in laboratory and field conditions. The isolates PGPR-1, PGPR-4 (Bacillus subtilis), PGPR-12 and PGPR-7 (Pseudomonas fluorescens) showed maximum in vitro bacterial growth inhibition, increased the seed germination (more than 98%) and increased plant vigour. Under field conditions, PGPR-12 (P. fluorescens), PGPR-5 (B. subtilis), PGPR-4 (B. subtilis) and PGPR-7 (P. fluorescens) resulted in low of per cent disease index and in that order increased plant yield compared to other PGPR strains.
