Abstract

The rhizospheric microbial population has immense role in agriculture and crop improvement. This article deals with the preliminary information about the rhizospheric bacterial population of Azadirachta indica growing at the different site of North 24 parganas district of West Bengal, India. The information will serve as a data base for future exploration of bioprospective potentialities of rhizospheric bacteria prevailing in the unique ecological niche of the medicinal plants.
