Overview

Study explores plant growth-promoting bacteria to enhance growth and biocontrol traits in tomato, suggesting viable bioinput development.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify bacterial strains that promote plant growth and provide biocontrol benefits for tomato plants.
  • Screened a collection of 259 bacterial isolates from tomato plants.
  • Characterized isolates for antifungal activity and plant colonization ability.
  • Applied multivariate approaches to analyze composite indices of traits.
  • Evaluated selected strains in vivo to assess their effects on growth and disease control.
  • Bacillus isolates increased seedling biomass by 54% in lettuce and 38% in tomato.
  • Fungal disease incidence reduced to 2–9% with selected isolates.
  • Marketable weight of lettuce increased by 21–37% after inoculation.
  • Tomato yield showed positive but non-significant increases of ~21–25% after treatment with Pseudomonas or Bacillus.
