Bacterial wilt disease, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum poses a severe threat to ginger plants. The present study aimed determine the effect of Bacillus strains combat R. solanacearum-induced bacterial in inducing defense enzymes viz., peroxidase(POX), Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and total phenol content, while also promoting growth yield. were isolated from soil samples collected Western Ghats, one India's biological diversity hot spots through random sampling. Two exhibiting better antagonistic activity identified as spp 16S rRNA sequencing. Pot studies conducted evaluate biocontrol efficacy plant ability these against solanacearum. Results showed that plants treated with NIIST NB120 significantly increased shoot length 70.80 cm, leaf 30.03 breadth 3.42 number leaves 22, yield 253.47% compared solanacearum, which had lower values. Furthermore, lowest incidence at 25%, contrast 66% pathogen. Application enhanced activities defense-related enzymes, including, PAL 0.030 units/ g tissue, PPO 0.0016 POD 68.28 phenolic content 219.5 enzyme observed pathogen These findings suggest B16 B. siamensis amyloliquefaciens could be effective agents disease.

The ginseng industry’s reliance on chemicals for fertilizer and pesticides has adversely affected the environment decreased quality of ginseng; therefore, microbial inoculum is an effective way to restore damaged soil in fields. To investigate effects plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) spent mushroom substrate (SMS) ginseng, high throughput sequencing was performed examine community structures rhizosphere soil. All treatments significantly increased nutrient, enzyme activity, biomass compared control (p < 0.05). combination PGPR SMS notably enhanced activities: urease (7.29%), sucrase (29.76%), acid phosphatase (13.24%), amylase (38.25%) had different diversity. Significantly, diversity by increasing abundance beneficial bacteria such as Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium Plectosphaerella, meanwhile suppressing harmful Klebsiella. relative Fusarium reduced some extent with application alone. organic matter, available potassium, phosphorus, alkaline nitrogen, key factors, influenced structures. Overall, positively impacted quality.
