 ABSTRACT

Thermotolerant rhizobial isolatesretrieved from root nodules of Vigna radiata grown at CCSHAU Hisar farm were evaluated for various plant growth promoting traits. Among four thermotolerant rhizobial isolates screened for PGP traits, the isolate MRH 59 showed high IAA production, ammonia excretion. HCN production, Siderophore production and phosphate solubilisation. Thepromising rhizobial isolateexhibiting multiple plant growth promoting traits and showing nodulation of summer mungbean under sterilised conditions can be exploited for growth promotion of summer mungbean.

Keywords: HCN production, IAA production, mungbean, P-solubilization, Rhizobium
