Effect of endophytic bacterial strain on
plant growth promotion (in vitro)
Seed treatment and nursery
experiments
Seeds of chilli were treated with the 48-hold
culture (approximately 108 CFU/ml) of
the selected isolate of CEFR-3 for 30 min
and were shade-dried at 28 + 28C for 1 h
The treated seeds (100) were sown in pots
containing coco peat in a greenhouse.
Observations were recorded on
germination percentage in the beginning,
root length, shoot length and wet weight of
the seedlings after 1 month of sowing by
removing 10 seedlings from each
replication
