%X the present investigation was carried out to test the biocontrol potential of a phosphate solubilizing bacterial strain, lk11 isolated from mungbean rhizosphere, in gujarat, india. this strain besides solubilizing the insoluble p also demonstrated inhibition of sclerotium rolfsii growth in agar plate and produced a volatile compound, hcn. during in vitro studies lk11 inhibited sclerotia germination by 40%. the most important contributing factor towards increased mungbean growth by reducing fungal attack was the enhanced production of antifungal compounds like pal (47 mm/ml/mg of tissue), phenolics (90.2 ¦Ìg/ml/mg) and flavonoids (184.2 mg/ml/g) which is comparable to earlier reports available. testing the efficiency of this strain in consortium culture alongwith some other pgpr strains and biocontrol microbes at multilocational fields is in offing.
