Desert Soil Microbes as a Mineral Nutrient Acquisition Tool for Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Productivity at Different Moisture Regimes.

摘要: Drought is a major constraint in drylands for crop production. Plant associated microbes can help plants acquisition of soil nutrients to enhance productivity stressful conditions. The current study was designed illuminate the effectiveness desert rhizobacterial strains on growth and net-return chickpeas grown pots by using sandy loam Thal Pakistan desert. A total 125 were isolated, out which 72 inoculated with chamber 75 days screen most efficient isolates. Amongst all, six bacterial (two rhizobia four plant promoting strains) significantly enhanced nodulation shoot-root length as compared other treatments. These promising morphologically biochemically characterized identified through 16sRNA sequencing. Then, eight consortia isolates formulated evaluate development chickpea at three moisture levels (55%, 75% 95% field capacity) glass house experiment. trend best performing terms remained T2 level 1 > T7 2 T4 3. present indicates vital role co-inoculated enhancement under low availability. It concluded from results that consortium (Mesorhizobium ciceri RZ-11 + Bacillus subtilis RP-01 mojavensis RS-14) perform drought conditions (55% Enterobacter Cloacae RP-08 Providencia vermicola RS-15) be adopted irrigated areas (95% maximum chickpea.
