Use of chemicals as pesticides and fertilizers has been raised in last few decades which increase the yield upto some extant but also resulted in bioaccumulation in living system. Microbes have the ability to support the plant growth without generating toxic residues and act as biofertilizer. In present work, samples were collected from rhizosphere and phyllosphere of Triticum astivum. After primary screening total 75 isolates of fluorescent Pseudomonas were obtained and further screened for various plant growth promoting (PGP) traits such as Phosphate solubilization, N2 fixation, IAA and biocontrol activity such as siderophore, HCN ammonia production and antifungal activity against selected pathogenic fungi (Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia sp and Sclerotium sp). Among these isolates, L14, S23 and Y30 were identified as Pseudomonas fluorescence, Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aerofacienss respectively. Results thus obtained from current work were quite promising as per expected and also suggested the possible substitute for synthetic chemical used in agriculture which ultimately helps in environment conservation.
