Randomized trial reveals improved tomato seedling growth and disease suppression using PGPR and mycorrhizal fungi.

This study evaluates the effects of PGPR and mycorrhizal fungi on tomato growth and disease suppression.
Isolated Azospirillum sp., Pseudomonas, and mycorrhizal fungi from tomato rhizosphere soil.
Conducted controlled laboratory experiments to assess nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and disease inhibition.
Applied treatments both individually and in combination in pot culture conditions.
T6 treatment achieved the highest tomato seedling length of 21.10 cm and 94.85% seed germination.
Pseudomonas isolate showed significant inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum with a 41.21 mm inhibition zone.
Gigaspora sp. exhibited 24.10 mg/kg phosphate mobilization and 74% root colonization.

Murugesan et al. (2026) studied this question.
