Objectives
- To isolate and identify the endophytic bacteria associated with black pepper
- To screen for identification of efficient and effective endophytic bacterial strains for suppressing R. similis infestation in black pepper.
- To evaluate the effect of the PGPR under nursery and field conditions and to select the appropriate endophytes for maximum performance in black pepper under high and low nematode pressures.
- To study the biochemical and molecular interactions in the plant-nematode-bacterial system
- Scaling up and formulation of promising isolates of endophytic bacteria
