Abstract
In the present study effect of four commonly used agrochemicals (2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Diammonium phosphate, Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium Fertilizer and Urea) was studied on the growth of ten previously isolated PGPR. The herbicide 2, 4- D inhibited the growth of isolate-7 completely at 0.01%. On the other hand isolate-5, 8, 9 and 10 showed growth up to 1% concentration. Isolate 4 was the most tolerant to DAP followed by isolate-5 and isolate-10, Isolate 4 tolerated up to 4% of DAP, While isolate-5 and 10 tolerated 3% DAP. Low concentration was beneficial for the growth of all isolates but growth was inhibited with the increase in concentration of urea. Most of the isolates were inhibited at 4% urea except isolate-10. it was able to grow even at 5% urea. NPK also initially enhance the growth of all isolated but higher concentrations were inhibitory for all isolates. Most tolerant isolates to urea were 4, 7 and 10. They survived up to 3% concentration. Among all isolate-10 was most resistant to all agrochemicals studied.
