Bacteria viz., Rhizobium meliloti, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis were multiplied on sea weed like Cystoclanium purpuraeum. After 15 days of multiplication soil was amended with different dosage of inoculum. There was a significant enhancement of plant growth and significantly control the infection of root infecting fungi viz., Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium spp on mash bean where soil was amended with P. aeruginosa inoculum on Cystoclonium purpuraeum used @ 1% w/w whereas B. subtilis inoculum on C. purpureum used @ 1% w/w showed greater plant growth and significant reduction of root infecting fungi on sunflower and mashbean.
