Plant growth\u2013promoting Pseudomonas<\/em> species enhance plant development through both \r\ndirect and indirect mechanisms. Direct effects include the production of phytohormones\r\n and improved nutrient availability, while indirect effects involve suppression of \r\nsoil-borne pathogens through siderophore production, antibiotics, induced systemic resistance, \r\nand competitive exclusion.\r\nPseudomonas<\/em> spp. are widely distributed across diverse ecological niches and are recognized as model \r\norganisms for plant growth promotion. Their extensive genetic and metabolic diversity enables them to \r\nperform multiple ecological functions in the soil environment. Due to their versatility, this genus has \r\nbecome one of the most commercially utilized beneficial microbes in agriculture. However, the full potential\r\n of various Pseudomonas<\/em> species remains underexplored, highlighting the need for greater focus in sustainable \r\nfarming systems.\r\nThe bio-capsule has been jointly developed by ICAR\u2013National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (NBAIR),\r\n Bangalore, and ICAR\u2013Indian Institute of Spices Research (IISR), Kozhikode, for farmer benefit. The effective \r\nbioagent strain was identified by NBAIR and subsequently formulated into capsule form using IISR\u2019s patented encapsulation technology.\r\nThis bioformulation contains a highly efficient plant growth\u2013promoting and abiotic stress-tolerant biocontrol \r\nagent. The bacterial strain demonstrates resilience under extreme conditions, including high temperatures up \r\nto 50\u00b0C, salinity levels of 1.5 M NaCl, and drought stress up to \u201310.28 MPa. It produces several plant-beneficial\r\n enzymes such as phosphatases, proteases, chitinase, cellulase, and ACC deaminase, along with secondary \r\nmetabolites like hydrogen cyanide (HCN), which contribute to pest and disease suppression.\r\nField studies indicate that the strain effectively controls Thrips and inhibits major soil-borne pathogens \r\nincluding Sclerotium rolfsii<\/em>, Rhizoctonia solani<\/em>, and Fusarium oxysporum<\/em>. It also produces proline, helping \r\nplants maintain stability under stress conditions. Additionally, the bacterium exhibits strong rhizosphere \r\ncompetence, establishing well in soil populations (up to log 8.7 CFU\/g), and performs effectively under saline \r\nand water-limited environments.\r\nEach bio-capsule of Pseudomonas fluorescens<\/em> (1 gram) contains approximately 100 billion colony-forming units \r\n(CFU). One capsule can be mixed with 100 liters of water and applied to the soil. The encapsulation technology \r\nensures precise microbial delivery, cost-effective production, ease of handling and storage, extended shelf life,\r\n and stability at room temperature.\r\n\r\nBenefits \/ Utility\r\nPseudomonas fluorescens<\/em> is a well-established plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR). The strain (NBAIR PFD\r\nWD) has demonstrated strong plant growth promotion along with tolerance to abiotic stresses. It produces antimicrobial\r\n compounds such as DAPG, making it effective against major fungal pathogens. This formulation is suitable for pest and \r\ndisease management in crops like pulses, rice, legumes, and vegetables, especially under rainfed and stress-prone \r\nconditions.\r\nToxicological Data\r\nToxicological evaluations for both the primary culture and wettable powder formulation of Pseudomonas fluorescens<\/em> \r\n(NBAIR PFDWD) have been conducted in accordance with CIBRC guidelines.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Developed through patented technology by ICAR\u2013Indian Institute of Spices Research (IISR), Kozhikode, in association with ICAR\u2013National Bureau of Agricultural Insect Resources (NBAIR), Bangalore, this advanced bio capsule is enriched with Pseudomonas fluorescens<\/em>, a beneficial microbial strain.
