Assessment of the Protective Potential of Inoculums and Metabolites of Rhizobacteria on Soybean () Seedlings against Bacterial and Fungal Pathogens.

Background: Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR), while generally considered to aid plant growth with the provision of nutrients, can also be used as biocontrol agents for plant pathogens.

Aim: The study assessed the protective potential of inoculums and metabolites of plant growthpromoting rhizobacterial strains against bacterial and fungal pathogens on soybean seedlings.

Materials And Methods: Inoculums and metabolites of 15 rhizobacterial strains were used for the study.
