In the present study, ten strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and ten strains of Bacillus subtilis were isolated from the soil sample. The production of antimicrobial compounds such as HCN, siderophores, salicylic acid and indole acetic acid by the isolates were estimated. Among the isolates AUPF3, AUBS2 and AUBS8 showed maximum production compared to the other isolates. Thus from the above study, it can be concluded that effective isolates can be used as biocontrol agents.
