Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation All four bacterial strains tolerated NaCl at 1.4 M and solubilized phosphate.
- Observation Four strains showed variable phosphate solubilization with different carbon and nitrogen sources.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased peanut root length by 25.71–49%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased peanut stem length by 19–48%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased peanut leaf number by 12.5–37%.
- Intervention effect Inoculation significantly increased peanut root and shoot biomass.
- Mechanism Plant hormones and bacterial root colonization were proposed as explanations for growth promotion.
- Association Root colonization correlated positively with plant growth and depended on soil conditions.
- Intervention effect PSB improved available soil phosphorus.
- Intervention effect PSB with calcium phosphate produced the strongest peanut growth benefit.
- Intervention effect PSB with calcium phosphate produced the strongest soil available phosphorus benefit.
- Observation The authors identify Providencia rettgeri as a peanut growth promoting bacterium.
- Recommendation The authors propose Providencia rettgeri as a biofertilizer for peanut in saline soil.
