Potential of rhizobacterial <i>Pseudomonas and Bacillus</i> spp. to manage papaya ringspot virus disease of papaya (<i>Carica papaya</i> (L.)
The present study was conducted to determine the potential of rhizobacterial species in managing Papaya Ringspot Virus Disease (PRSVD) and their ability to promote plant growth and yield and induce host plant resistance through the activity of defense-related enzymes. Twenty <em>Pseudomonas sp...

The present study was conducted to determine the potential of rhizobacterial species in managing Papaya Ringspot Virus Disease (PRSVD) and their ability to promote plant growth and yield and induce host plant resistance through the activity of defense-related enzymes. Twenty <em>Pseudomonas spp. </em>and four <em>Bacillus spp.</em> which were isolated from healthy papaya rhizosphere were applied by two methods, namely seed treatment and a root dip. The ability to reduce symptom development, promote plant growth and yield along with synthesis of peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and β-1, 3- glucanase under plant house and field conditions were evaluated. Molecular identification confirmed the presence of <em>P. fluorescens</em>, <em>P. putida</em>, <em>P. aeruginosa</em>, <em>P. taiwanensis </em>and several unidentified species of <em>Pseudomonas</em> among the <em>Pseudomonas</em> isolates used in the present study. Application of six selected bacterial isolates either by seed or root dip method reduced leaf symptom severity and increased the activity of peroxidase and PAL enzymes significantly (P<0.005), compared to the plants which were not treated with bacterial isolates. When the bacterial isolates were applied by the root dip method, there was no significant (P<0.005) difference on the activity of peroxidase, PAL and β-1, 3- glucanase among the isolates.
