e0“rhizobacterial inoculation and amended with compost in the presence of half dose or 75% of mineral fertilization, which caused significant augmentation and achieved the highest values of all wheat growth parameters (plant height, number of tillers/plant and dry weight of roots and shoots), nutrients accumulated in tissues, wheat yield and its components (number of spikes/m 2 , number of kernels/spike, 1000-kernel weight, harvest index, biological yield, grain yield, straw yield and crude protein percentage of grain and straw)”

Other claims from this paper (18)
- Observation All tested rhizobacteria exhibited plant growth promotion properties in vitro.
- Observation All tested rhizobacteria solubilized phosphate.
- Observation Ps. fluorescens and B. megaterium had greater phosphate solubilization capacity than the other rhizobacteria.
- Observation Azo. brasilense had the lowest phosphate solubilization capacity.
- Observation All tested rhizobacteria produced indole compounds.
- Observation Ps. fluorescens was most effective at producing indole compounds, followed by B. megaterium and B. circulans.
- Observation Azo. brasilense produced a lower amount of IAA.
- Observation Ps. fluorescens had moderate capacity to excrete siderophores and cyanide.
- Observation B. megaterium and B. circulans had low capacity to excrete siderophores and cyanide.
- Observation Azospirillum brasilense did not produce siderophores or cyanide.
- Intervention effect The full recommended NPK dose exceeded 50% and 75% doses across tested wheat traits.
- Intervention effect Compost with 50% or 75% NPK improved tested wheat traits over mineral fertilizer alone.
- Intervention effect PGPR mixture inoculation with 50% or 75% NPK improved tested wheat traits over mineral fertilizer alone.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacterial inoculation plus compost and half or 75% mineral fertilizer gave the highest nutrients accumulated in tissues.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacterial inoculation plus compost and half or 75% mineral fertilizer gave the highest wheat yield and its components.
- Intervention effect Rhizobacterial inoculation plus compost and half or 75% mineral fertilizer gave the highest crude protein percentage of grain and straw.
- Intervention effect Combined compost and rhizobacteria treatments produced wheat trait values comparable to full NPK dosage.
- Recommendation The authors suggest compost manure at 10 ton per feddan with half-dose NPK, supported by rhizobacteria inoculation, for wheat production in sandy soil.
