Second experiment conducted in large pots to investigate the effects of the two bacterial isolates on some morphological, productive and physiological characters of sesame plants against same fungi under normal conditions. Results showed very low germination and slowly seedlings growth in Pythium, Fusarium and Alternaria treatments respectively, but adding bacterial vaccine of Pseudomonas putida2 and Pseudomonas fluorescens3 as a Biocide to fungi treatments, increased the germination percent and seedlings growth of sesame crop significantly, 20 days after planting compared with control treatment. In the second experiment, control treatment scored germination by 52%, while vaccines of Pseudornonas putida2 and Pseudomonas fluorescence3 treatments increased germination percentage in Fusarium, Pythium and Alternaria treatments significantly in average more than 71%. Both isolates increased significantly Leaf number per plant, leaf area per plant, height of plant, branches number per plant, total dry weight of shoot per plant and chlorophyll content compared with other and control treatments. Similar significant effect for both isolates was recorded in seeds number per pod per plant, total weight of 1,000 seeds per plant and pods number per plant and percentage of N, P, K in total dry weight of shoot per plant and oil percentage in seeds per plant compared with other and control treatments. P. putida2 increased oil percentage in seeds by 43.3, 48.0 and 45.0% respectively while with P. fluorescens3 increased to 42.7, 44.0 and 43.7% respectively compared with control treatment (27.7%). In general Pseudomonas putida2 increased most of growth characters much higher than Pseudomonas fluorescens3, it may related to siderophores compound and genetic factors.展开更多
