    Nutrient Analysis of Two Chickpea Cultivars Grown in Local Soil and Treated with Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria from Bathinda Region
    (Central University of Punjab, 2018) Dogra, Nitin; Wusirika, Ramakrishna
    The bacteria found near plant roots are known to affect plant and soil health. Several important characteristics, such as biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and production of siderophores and phytohormones are together called plant growth promoting (PGP) traits. In the current study, the plant growth promoting activity of five bacterial strains, Pseudomonas citronellis (PC), Pseudomonas sp. RA6, S2, Serratia marcescens CDP-13 and Symbion-K (Frateuria aurantia) were observed on chickpea varieties PBG1 and PBG5, grown in pots containing soil collected from Central University of Punjab city campus. The plants were harvested after 30 days and shoot length, root length, plant biomass and nutrient content of shoots were evaluated.
