Response of Rhizobacterial strains and organic amendments on chickpea growth.

Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth through a variety of mechanisms such as phosphate solubilization, phytohormones production, antifungal activity and also improve plant growth and yield. Field experiment was carried out to investigate the residual effect of organic amendments plus soil microbes along with integrated nutrient management. (PGPR) are important soil organism that promotes plant growth and yield root colonization is an example of a direct and indirect mechanism. The treatments included control, (inorganic fertilizer and no organic fertilization).Five bacterial strains were identified morphologically and biochemically screened from the rhizospheres of chickpea, lentil, barseem, mungbean, and sesame. The experiment was conducted at the Arid Zone Research Center in D.I.Khan (Pakistan). The majority of isolates resulted in significant increase in shoot length, root length, and dry matter production of Cicer arietinum seedlings' shoot and root. The experiment represented that isolates treated plots with rhizobium strain inoculation resulted in greater plant height (35.000 cm) and nodule count (38.00) No of pods per plant-1 (44.66) when compared to the control treatment, While (Mesorhizobium cicero) along with organic amendments showed significant response the greater root length (50 cm) was observed in T4 treatment. The Performance of rhizobial strains on chickpea germination in an arid environment was found to significantly increase crop germination percentage. This combination thus increases nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in inoculation treated plots. The study found that plots with inoculation treatments yielded significantly higher than non-treated plots Treatment with Mesorhizobium Cicero and compost resulted in a higher grain yield (8%) as compared to the control. The greater grain yield was observed in Treatment T4 (183.67).The result showed that use of PGPR have the potential to increase nutrient absorption from soil while improved growth of chickpea.

As rizobactérias promotoras de crescimento de plantas (PGPR) são bactérias benéficas que colonizam as raízes das plantas e promovem o crescimento das plantas através de uma variedade de mecanismos, como solubilização de fosfato, produção de fito-hormônios, atividade antifúngica e também melhoram o crescimento e o rendimento das plantas. O experimento de campo foi realizado para investigar o efeito residual de corretivos orgânicos mais micróbios do solo, juntamente com o manejo integrado de nutrientes. PGPR são importantes organismos do solo que promovem o crescimento das plantas e produzem a colonização de raízes, que é um exemplo de mecanismo direto e indireto. Os tratamentos incluíram controle (fertilizante inorgânico e sem adubação orgânica). Cinco cepas bacterianas foram identificadas morfologicamente e bioquimicamente selecionadas das rizosferas de grão-de-bico, lentilha, barseem, feijão-mungo e gergelim. O experimento foi conduzido no Arid Zone Research Center em D.I.Khan (Paquistão). A maioria dos isolados resultou em aumento significativo no comprimento da parte aérea, comprimento da raiz e produção de matéria seca da parte aérea e raiz das plântulas de Cicer arietinum. O experimento demonstrou que isolados de parcelas tratadas com inoculação de cepa de rizóbio resultaram em maior altura de planta (35.000 cm) e contagem de nódulos (38,00) n.º de vagens por planta-1 (44,66), quando comparado ao tratamento controle, enquanto (Mesorhizobium cicero), juntamente com as alterações orgânicas, apresentaram resposta significativa quanto maior o comprimento da raiz (50 cm) observado no Tratamento T4. O desempenho de linhagens de rizóbios na germinação do grão-de-bico em ambiente árido aumentou significativamente a porcentagem de germinação da cultura. Esta combinação aumenta assim a absorção de nitrogênio e fósforo nas parcelas tratadas com inoculação. O estudo constatou que as parcelas com tratamentos de inoculação produziram significativamente mais do que as parcelas não tratadas. O tratamento com Mesorhizobium cicero e composto resultou em maior produtividade de grãos (8%) em comparação com o controle. A maior produtividade de grãos foi observada no Tratamento T4 (183,67). O resultado mostrou que o uso de PGPR tem potencial para aumentar a absorção de nutrientes do solo enquanto melhora o crescimento do grão-de-bico.(AU)
