Overview

Screening reveals that Pseudomonas strain improves root growth and crop productivity in maize, suggesting eco-friendly biofertilizer potential.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the plant growth-promoting traits of rhizobacteria isolated from maize rhizosphere.
  • Screened twenty-one rhizobacteria for plant-beneficial traits
  • Analyzed traits including phosphate solubilization and indole-3-acetic acid production
  • Conducted pot-scale experiments with maize inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. NCR2
  • Pseudomonas sp. NCR2 displayed the most comprehensive plant growth-promoting traits
  • Inoculated maize showed significantly increased root growth, chlorophyll, and soluble proteins
  • The biofertilizing inoculum demonstrated potential for reducing chemical inputs while maintaining crop productivity
