Compositions and Methods for Improving Rice Growth Resistance to blast and Restricting Arsenic Uptake

Sectors:
Objective:
Impacts addressed:

This invention relates to the use of microbes isolated from a rhizosphere of rice to provide anti pathogenic effect on rice plants improve biomass and growth and restrict arsenic uptake by rice plants.

Benefits:

Administering one or more of rice rhizosphere isolates to a rice plant seed or to its surrounding soil inhibits: blast infection increases biomass of the plant and decreases arsenic uptake by the plant
