The main aim of the study is about to increase the production of Pseudomonas fluorescence from agricultural waste and its application in preservation of green leafy vegetables. The seven agricultural waste combinations were analyzed, out of which, combination containing rice straw, rice husk, wheat husk, cow dung, coconut water was found to be suitable for the optimum production of Pseudomonas fluorescence. The Pseudomonas fluorescence obtained from above combinations was used for the preservation of some of the green vegetables. The nutritive values for the above green vegetables were determined using one category with Pseudomonas fluorescence preservation and another category without preservation of the same. It was found out that the nutritive value was almost maintained.
