**2.3 Assessment of plant growth promoting determinants of bacteria antagonistic to** *X. oryzae* **pv.** *o***ryzae**

Active isolates with antagonistic potential against *X. oryzae* pv. *oryzae* were further evaluated for their ability to produce plant growth promoting determinants viz. siderophore production, Indole acetic acid (IAA) production and phosphate solubilization capability as follows:
