Sanction No: BT/PR40089/NER/95/1663/2020; Dated: 08/03/2021Exploring rhizosphere microbiome for management of Phytophthora disease of khasi mandarinObjective:1. Diversity analysis of citrus rhizospheric microbiome2. Development of rhizo-competent microbial consortia of antagonists, PGPMs against Phytophthora3. Evaluate the developed bioinoculum/ consortia for disease suppression and rejuvenation of infected Khasi Mandarin orchards (soil+ plant).4. Evaluation of microbial consortia and green nano- composites against root health related biotic (Phytophthora disease) and postharvest life of Khasi Mandarin.
