The effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on plant growth and systemic protection against blue mold disease of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), caused by Peronospora tabacina, was investigated in the greenhouse. Five PGPR strains with known plant growth promotion and induced resistanc...
