Comparison of Plant Growth-Promotion with \u3ci\u3ePseudomonas aeruginosa\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eBacillus subtilis\u3c/i\u3e in Three Vegetables

Our objective was to compare some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) properties of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as representatives of their two genera. Solanum lycopersicum L. (tomato), Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), and Amaranthus sp. (African spinach) were inoculated with the bacterial cultures. At 60 days after planting, dry biomass for plants treated with B. subtilis and P. aeruginosa increased 31% for tomato, 36% and 29% for okra, and 83% and 40% for African spinach respectively over the non-bacterized control. Considering all the parameters tested, there were similarities but no significant difference at P \u3c 0.05 between the overall performances of the two organisms
