In the present study a total of five bacterial strains were used to control isolated pathogens of which two were plant rhizospheric bacteria viz. Burkholderia cenocepacia VBC7 and Pseudomonas poae VBK1 and another three different strains (LABW1, LABW3 and LABW4) of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis isolated in our laboratory and identified following 16S rDNA sequence homology. The two rhizobacterial strains B. cenocepacia VBC7 and P. poae VBK1 were isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) and mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) respectively on nitrogen free Burk’s medium and were selected on the basis of their plant growth promoting properties
