Rhizoctonia solani is an important plant pathogen which is responsible for causing a number of plant diseases in a variety of cropping plants. The current studies were carried out to explore antifungal potential of bacteria isolated from rhizospheric region of Daucus carota against Rhizoctonia. Of the total 21 bacterial isolates isolated, only 3 isolates namely CVO-3, CVO-4 and CRY-O-2 were shown antifungal potential against Rhizoctonia. Besides having antifungal potential these isolates also have some plant growth promoting attributes that will be an extra benefit of using these isolates as a biofungicides against R. solani. Thus, these isolates could be used as biofungicides against Rhizoctonia to prevent a variety of plant diseases like sheath blight in Oryza sativa, stem canker and black scurf in Solanum tuberosum and seedling diseases in Brassica napus. The isolates CVO-3, CVO-4 and CRY-O-2 were also characterized biochemical level by using methods based on Determinative Bacteriology given in Bergey’s manual and at molecular level using 16S rRNA sequencing and sequences of 16S rDNA segment were submitted to NCBI in GenBank database with the accession numbers OR775574 (Lysinibacillus boronitolerans ss3cvo3), OR775575 (Lysinibacillus boronitolerans ss4cvo4) and OR708523 (Shouchella rhizosphaerae ss1cryo2). The present investigation is an approach towards the use of these bacterial isolates from carrot rhizosphere to control the activities in the rhizosphere of other cropping plants.
