In the present study thirty six pseudomonas species were isolated and identified as Pseudomonas fluorescence from rhizospheric soil of different crops such as sugarcane, groundnut and soybean in different places of Parbhani District. All isolates were shown siderophore production on succinate medium. The maximum siderophore production was found in PFSP03 strain i.e 72%. The strain produced both hydroxamate and chatacholate type of siderophore which was maximum at 10mM iron concentration in the medium. Also antifungal activity was observed against phytopathogens viz., Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium oxysporum, Macrophomina phaseolina.
