Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are free living soil microorganisms that exert beneficial effects on plants. In the present study bacterial strains were isolated from Banana rhizosphere soil. These strains were characterized based on morphological and biochemical studies and identified as Bacillus spp. From the isolated Bacterial strain their Plant Growth Promoting Hormones such as IAA production, GA production and Phosphate solubilization activity was analysed. The culture filtrate of this bacterium was bio assayed on Vigna radiata and found that it significantly promotes the growth of the plant.

Key words: PGPR, Banana rhizosphere soil, Bacillus spp, Plant Growth Promoting Hormones, Vigna radiata.
