Role of bioagents for induction of phenol and protein content against Macrophomona phaseolina In Mung Bean

The induction of total soluble phenol and protein content in root and shoot tissues of mung bean using four antagonists viz., T. atroviride (Ta-JOB), T. viride (Tv-BKN), T. harzianum (Th-JU) and P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) were investigated under green house conditions. The total soluble phenol content was higher in P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) treatment followed by T. atroviride (Ta-JOB) treatment in root as well as in shoot tissues at 15, 25 and 35 DAS. The total soluble protein content was higher in T. harzianum (Th-JU) and P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) treatments in root and shoot tissues at all stages of plant growth.
