Chakrata, Jaunsar-Bawar region is conferred by diverse wealth in terms of flora. The flora is so wealthy just because of the microorganism which inhabits the soil. Pseudomonas fluorescens belongs to the PGPR (plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria), which plays a major role in plant growth promotion and reduce severity of various diseases, bio-control agent as well as antagonist, and a potential biosurfactant producer. A total of six soil samples were collected from different villages of chakrata. Dilutions of soil sample were made and isolated on the nutrient agar medium followed by identification through Gram�s staining and different biochemical analysis. Different tests were performed for each isolated bacterias from different soil samples. Out of which four samples showed the presence of Pseudomonas fluorescens strains according to the Bergey�s manual of determinative bacteriology. Seeds of black-eyed peas(lobia) and okra(bhindi) were treated with isolated strains of P.fluorescens . After treating them, seeds were sown in the pots. A pot as a control is taken for the comparison of growth between inoculated and uninoculated seeds. The inoculated seeds showed positive growth than control. The present study indicates that the presence of Pseudomonas species in soils of chakrata is selective in nature and supports the well growth of selected plants and this is one of the main reasons for the well productivity of different varieties of crops and medicinal plants in chakrata, jaunsar-bawar areas.
