RHIZOSPHERE MICROORGANISMS OF VEGETABLES COMMONLY CONSUMED IN EKITI STATE, NIGERIA.


ABSTRACT
This work focused on the rhizosphere soil microorganisms of five different kind of vegetable plants. Cochorus olitorius L. (Bush okra), Talinum triangulare (waterleaf), Ocimum bacilicum (sweet basil), Hibiscus esculentus (okro) and Amaranthus hybridus (Tumble weed). Thirteen microorganisms (Bacteria and fungi) were identified which are Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas spp., Flavobacterium spp., Citrobacter freundi, Azospirillum lipoferum, Azobacter chroococcum, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Penicillium spp., Rhizopus spp., Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp., and Mucor hiemalis. The physical and chemical properties like the soil, water holding capacity, moisture content and the soil pH were determined. The average pH are (8.22, 8.02, 7.9), soil water capacity (0.54, 0.552, 0.55) and of moisture content (%) are (22.28%, 17.76%, 19.8%) respectively (of rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere).
