Abstract
Ten psychrotolerant rhizobacterial isolates were evaluated for their PGP traits at 10˚, 20° and 30 °C. Maximum P-solubilization was recorded by LR-5 (66.5, 60.6 and 52.4µg/ml at 10°, 20° and 30° respectively). The highest IAA producer was LR-5 (4.6, 10.8 and 14.8µg/ml at 10 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C respectively) followed by LR-3 (3.6, 7.5 and 12.4 µg/ml at 10 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C respectively). Three isolates LR-1, LR-3 and LR-5 confirmed the presence of ACCD activity.Under axenic conditions the highest root length was recorded in treatment comprising of Rhizobium (R)+P LR-57.05, 6.80 and 5.70cm) followed by R+LR-3 (5.60, 4.45 and 4.60cm) at 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 MPa respectively. Similar pattern was seen in case of shoot length where, highest growth was shown by R+LR-5 (11.0, 8.4 and 6.8cm) followed by R+LR-3 (7.6, 5.8 and 4.9) at 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 MPa respectively. In case of root and shoot fresh weight also R+LR-5 proved to be the most promising treatment.
