Summary
The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of seed bio-priming on enhancing seedling vigour of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) infected with fungal pathogens under green house conditions. Seed bio-priming enhanced the efficiency of biocontrol agents and increased the PGPR activity of beneficial microorganisms used for seed bio-priming. The PGPR activity was measured by estimating the plant growth parameters like germination percentage, shoot and root length, seedling vigour index. Increased biocontrol efficiency and lower level of disease incidence was observed in both the treatments, Trichoderma harzianum (NBAII-THlO) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (NBAII-Pfl) were used for bio-priming along with PGPRs.
