Synergistic effects of rhizospheric and nodule associated zinc solubilising consortia to enhance productivity and biofortification in lentil (Lens culinaris L.)
The present study was undertaken to isolate, screen and evaluate zinc-solubilising bacteria (ZnSB) from lentil rhizosphere and root nodules and to assess their individual and consortium effects on plant growth, yield, micronutrient biofortification and soil nutrient status. A total of 120 rhizospheric soil and 62 root...
