Effect of Endophytic Bacteria on Growth of Indigo Plants
Main Article Content
Abstract
Endophytic bacteria are the important factors in natural system to produce many bioactive compounds which are promoting growth efficiency. This research was carried out isolating of bacteria from roots 3 indigo plants in Phrae province consist of Strobilanthes cusia, Baphicacanthus cusia voucher and Strobilanthes auriculata voucher. Four isolates of bacteria were obtained but found three isolates which are endophyte bacterial qualify, especially isolated Sc-WH01 is the highest to fix Nitrogen, synthesize IAA and solubilize phosphate. Using of 16S rRNA gene sequence based methods showing the Sc-WH01 relationship of Pseudoxanthomonas spadix, >98 percent similarly. The result of Sc-WH01 Endophyte bacterial capability to against plant disease showed that it was able to inhibit Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii which caused roots rot disease by assessing from zone of inhibition areas equal to 0.53 and 0.45 centimeters, respectively. And the result of growth performance of Indigo plants. It was found S. cusia, B. cusia voucher and S. auriculata voucher planting with 60 CFU/ml for 80 days can be best promoting growth performance. Height efficiency increased by 3.00, 3.30 and 1.20 centimeters, respectively. Also, root length efficiency increased by 2.60, 3.00 and especially, leaf number increased by 76.60, 14.00 and 24.00 leaves, respectively. By mean of statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Therefore, it is appropriate to use for promoting growth performance of indigo plants
