In the present study, the effect of Pseudomonas strain designated as a PT5 and Fusarium oxysporum Schlcht on growth responses of Vigna radiata under pot condition was enumerated. An experiment was laid out with four different treatments with four replications in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) at Department of Biochemistry, B.R. Doshi School of Bioscience, Sardar Patel University, V. V. Nagar, Anand, Gujarat, India. The result revealed that the inoculation of PT5 microbial strains enhances the plant growth in terms of germination per cent, root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight and vigor index. The maximum increase in germination (100±5.65 %), root length (12±1.3 cm), shoot length (18.2±1.94 cm), fresh weight (0.66±0.42 gm), dry weight (0.12±0.03 gm) and vigor index (3020.00±101.21) were observed in response to Pseudomonas as compared to uninoculated control.

PGPR, Potato dextrose agar medium and Germination

The overall results of the present study indicate that the PT5 had promising positive effects on growth of Mung bean grown in pots under natural conditions. Thus, it can be concluded from study that the use of inoculation of PGPR traits could be the more effective and novel approach for achieving better germination, root growth and shoot growth of Mung bean grown under natural conditions.
