The potato tubers are of major economic importance since they are used as a carbohydrate source and as a basis of many processed products. It is grown by 600 thousand small agricultural farmers at 250 000 ha. The aim of this study was to test the PGPR capability of diazotrophs strains and evaluate their inoculation effect on potato seed tubers (Solanum tuberosum) under greenhouse and field conditions in order to estimate their capacity to improve the performance of this crop. Forty five diazotrophic strains, isolated in a previous work from the Andea highland of Peru, were tested for their ability to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), phosphate solubilization and antagonism against Rhizoctonia solani, 21 isolates were later assessed for acetylene reduction (ARA). Three isolates were selected for a field trial inoculation. Potato seed tubers of variety Desiree were inoculated with azo1M1, azo1M4 and azo16M2, a chemical control (CC), a positive control (Bacillus strain BacE1) and an uninoculated control (UC). Harvested-tubers and shoot were tested for fresh and dry weight, as well as for nutrient content. In vitro testing results showed antagonist behavior against t. solani. Moreover, 4 isolates were positive for the ARA test. In tubers nutrient content analysis, azo1M4 showed significant differences in %P (0,275 mg/g dry weight) compared to th UC and the highest values in %N and %K in shoot (2.05 and 3.00 mg/g dry weight, respectively) although without significant differences. Furthermore, azo16M2 obtained the best %N value in tubers, but with no statistical significance. The results suggested that diazotrophs strains isolated from potato rhizosphere in the Andean highlands of Peru has an enormous potential as biofertilizers due to their PGRP characteristics.
