The present study determined the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens (Fa) and Bacillus subtilis (Ca) that overcome the dosage of NPK resulted in the enhancement of yield and nutritional qualities of P. rotundifolius. HPLC analysis of Fa and Ca for IAA production along with identification of four anti-phytopathogenic compounds by GC MS analysis were carried out. Six separate treatments were done in soil of P. rotundifolius and the data were analysed statistically. Product formation of the isolates for the long term application in the agricultural fields were made. Investigating PGPR strains for novel plant growth-promoting characteristics will benefit sustainable agriculture.
