Bioinoculants development

A total of 17 endophytic actinomycete strains were obtained from 6 medicinal plants of Mizoram, Northeast, India. 16S rRNA results showed 13 (73.3%) of the isolates belonged to the genus Streptomyces, 2 (13.3%) were Nocardiopsis, 1 (6.6%) were Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens and 1 (6.6%) Actinobacteria bacterium. The highest number of endophytic actinomycetes was isolated from root tissue of Mikania micrantha Kunth. WI. (29.4%) followed by stem of Mikania micrantha Kunth. WI. and rhizome of Costus speciosus (J. Konig).

Plant growth promotion and biological control without deteriorating the environment and soil for sustainable agriculture has necessitated the exploration for microbial resources to replace the agrochemicals and fertilizers. Bacteria and fungi are widely distributed in the biosphere including the rhizosphere and help the plants by alleviating biotic and abiotic stress through diverse mechanisms and can be developed as bioinoculants for biocontrol and plant growth promoting activities.

In the present investigation three carriers, charcoal, mushroom compost, vermicompost were evaluated for the production of bioinoculants. The bacteria used for bioinoculants development was recommended Rhizobium spp. (M1). The Rhizobium strains were inoculated in all the three carriers singly and in combination with different carriers.
