The potential isolates of <em>Pseudomonas </em>(P-4, P-5, P-6, P-7 and P-8), <em>Bacillus </em>(ARI 1-2, ARI 2-4, ARI 1-3, D1-1-2 and D2-1-1) were tested <em>in vivo </em>under glass house conditions for antagonism against <em>Xoo </em>which revealed that P-7 was effective in reduction of lesion length (18.5cm) when compared to control (20.37cm). The present study indicated that PGPR isolates P-4, P-6, P-7 and P-8 can be used as biofertilizers, which will add up for enhanced growth of rice.  </strong></p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Environment Conservation Journal}, author={N., Yamini sousheel and Narayan Bhat, Bharati and Laha, Gouri Shankar and Triveni, S.}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={211–215} }
