Abstract
To investigate Pantoea isolates for multifarious plant growth promoting activities, their phylogenetic positioning and inoculation impact on plant growth of cereal crops to develop as generic PGP biofertilizer for different crops Eight Pantoea sp. isolated from wheat and maize growing in different agro-climatic conditions were used for studying cultural characteristics (pH, Salt and Temp tolerance) PGP traits (nutrient solubilization, siderophore, IAA and hydrolytic enzyme production) and 16SrRNA gene phylogenetic analysis. In vivo evaluation of Pantoea inoculants was studied with 3 cereal test crops in pot house studies.
