e0“Azotobacter with two concentrations (P1= 2.312 CFU mL−1, P2= 2.316 CFU mL−1) improved the plant length and biomass production demonstrates lesser declined (2 to 3.9%) in seedling growth and (21.5 to 39.8%) in biomass production as compared 31.5 to 49.8% in control plants (P0).”
t0“Scrutinize the integrated role of Azotobacter vinelandii in nitrogen assimilation, photosystem II functionality and aerenchyma formation of Zea mays under moisture stress environment”
