Estimation of quality parameters, antagonistic properties and commercial production of pseudomonas fluorescens in plant disease management

Pseudomonas fluorescens is an aerobic, gram-negative, ubiquitous bacterium present in agricultural soils that is well adapted to grow in the rhizospheric as well as phyllospheric zone. An experiment was conducted at Shree Agrasen Kanya P.G. College, Varanasi, U.P. India aimed to determine the morphological features of P. fluorescens as well as to carry out the process and method of its commercial production of powder formulation of the bio-control agent P. fluorescens 1 % W.P for its effective use at field. Its morphology is characterized visually and microscopically by colony growth such as colony form, color, edge and Gram staining at laboratory.
