Resumen:
Effects of root colonization by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on biomass, and qualitative and quantitative composition of essential oils, were determined in the aromatic crop Origanum majorana L. (sweet marjoram). PGPR strains evaluated were Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Sinorhizobium meliloti, and Bradyrhizobium sp. Only P. fluorescens and Bradyrhizobium sp. showed significant increases in shoot length, shoot weight, number of leaf, number of node, and root dry weight, in comparison to control plants or plants treated with other PGPR. Essential oil yield was also significantly increased relative to non-inoculated plants, without alteration of oil composition. P. fluorescens has clear commercial potential for economic cultivation of O. majorana.
