abstract={Four bacterial isolates selected from among 200 obtained from different source samples were evaluated for plant growth promoting (PGP) traits. These are found to be good for P solubilization, IAA, HCN, siderophore and NH<SUB>3</SUB> production with antifungal activity on phytopathogenic fungi and abiotic stress tolerance. Tomato plant growth was enhanced by these isolates at seed germination (14-19%) and pot culture (increase in biomass 47-76%). These isolates are identified as <i>Bacillus</i> <i>siamensis </i>RS8<i>,</i> <i>B</i><i>acillus</i><i> tequilensis </i>MS3, <i>B</i><i>acillus</i><i> subtilis subsp</i> <i>stercoris </i>MS19 and <i>B</i><i>acillus</i><i> velezensis </i>MS20 having potential for developing as bioinoculants to enhance the tomato plant growth and productivity.},
