- Intervention effect Soil boron of 0.25 mg/kg with Bacillus sp. MN54 increased nodule population by 81% over control.
- Intervention effect Soil boron of 0.25 mg/kg with Bacillus sp. MN54 increased pods per plant by 38% over control.
- Intervention effect Soil boron of 0.25 mg/kg with Bacillus sp. MN54 increased grains per plant by 65% over control.
- Intervention effect Soil boron of 0.25 mg/kg with Bacillus sp. MN54 increased grain yield by 47% over control.
- Intervention effect Soil boron significantly improved the root system and nodulation of chickpea.
- Intervention effect Soil boron significantly improved chickpea yield.
- Intervention effect Bacillus sp. MN54 inoculation further improved these traits.
- Intervention effect Soil boron at 0.25 mg/kg with B-tolerant bacteria gave the highest improvement in root system.
- Intervention effect Soil boron at 0.25 mg/kg with B-tolerant bacteria gave the highest improvement in growth and nodulation.
- Intervention effect Soil boron at 0.25 mg/kg with B-tolerant bacteria gave the highest improvement in grain yield.
- Intervention effect The highest grain-B concentration was obtained under 0.75 mg/kg soil boron.
- Intervention effect Grain-B concentration was higher under 1.00 mg/kg soil boron with Bacillus sp. MN54 inoculation.
- Recommendation Soil application of 0.25 mg/kg boron with Bacillus sp. MN54 is a pragmatic option to improve chickpea roots, nodule population, seedling growth, yield and grain-B biofortification (author recommendation).
