Co-inoculation with Mesorhizobium ciceri and Azotobacter chroococcum for improving growth, nodulation and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Rhizobia have the exceptional ability to form nodules on roots or stems of leguminous plants. Free living diazotrophs promote the rhizobial efficiency by altering root architecture providing more niches for nodulation and thus enhance the N2-fixing ability of legumes. Field experiment was conducte...
