Biofertilizer has potential to improve agriculture in a sustainable sustainable manner. ICAR All India Network Network Project Project on Soil Biodiversity Biodiversity Biofertilizer tilizer (AINP SBB) has developed developed a biofertilizer tilizer technology technology for apple. The biofertilizer tilizer was formulated formulated at the AINP SBB center Dr Y S Parmar University University of Horticulture ticulture and Forestry (YSPUHF), (YSPUHF), Solan. A bacterial bacterial endophyte endophyte Bacillus Bacillus lichenifor licheniformis CKA1 was isolated isolated from roots of apple (Malus domestica Borkh). The strain exhibits multifarious plant growth promoting (PGP) traits including P solubilization, solubilization, ability ability to grow in nitrogen nitrogen free medium, medium, iron chelating chelating ability ability, phyto-hormone phyto-hormone production, production, siderophore siderophore production, production, chitinase chitinase and protease protease enzyme production. production. The strain exhibits exhibits antifungal antifungal activity activity against against soil borne pathogens pathogens such as Phytophthora Phytophthora sp., Fusarium usarium oxyspor oxysporum, Pythium Pythium aphanider aphanidermatum and Dematophora Dematophora necatrix necatrix. Therefore, the Bacillus licheniformis CKA1acts as biofertilizer, biostimulant biostimulant and protectant. protectant. The strain CKA1 found to control control fungal diseases, diseases, enhanced enhanced plant health and maximized maximized protability protability. The product product is applicable applicable to most of the apple varieties varieties like Red Chief, Top Red, Super chief, Royal delicious delicious and Starkling Starkling delicious delicious etc. It increases increases yield from 14 % to 88%. Besides, Besides, the product product controls controls ~ 80% white root rot disease disease caused by Dematophora Dematophora necatrix necatrix at eld conditions. conditions. During the last ve years more than 250 apple farmers farmers of Himachal Himachal Pradesh Pradesh have been benetted benetted by using the product. product. The developed developed technology technology has been accepted accepted and recommended recommended by the State package package and practices practices committee committee for the apple growers. growers. The technology technology is included included in the Package of Practices Practices of Fruit Crop published published by Directorate Directorate of Extension Extension Education Education department of the university.
