Co-Inoculation of <i>Mesorhizobium ciceri</i> with Either <i>Bacillus</i> sp. or <i>Enterobacter aerogenes</i> on Chickpea Improves Growth and Productivity in Phosphate-Deficient Soils in Dry Areas of a Mediterranean Region

Biological nitrogen fixation requires a large amount of phosphorus (P). However, most of the soils are P-deficient and the extensive use of P- chemical fertilizers constitute a serious threat to the environment. In this context, two field experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of co-...
