Elite strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria were proficiently selected based on the strategic screening approaches. These included in vitro testing for plant growth promotion attributes, seedling bioassay under controlled and under greenhouse conditions. A total of 483 morphologically distinct bacteria [156 rhizosphere fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. (RSF), 206 rhizosphere Bacillus spp. (RSB) and 121 endophytic Bacillus spp. (EB)] were isolated from the roots and rhizosphere soil of coconut palms growing in different states of India. | Systematic screening strategies for identifying elite plant growth promoting rhizobacteria for coconut Cocos nucifera L.
