e1“Overall, the results highlighted the effectiveness of inoculation with certain PGPRs on the growth and yield parameters”
e5“In addition, a significant increase in the estimated leaf chlorophyll content was only observed in Fleur 11 and Sunu Gaal, which was not expected and could be attributed to a lower N2 fixation capacity of the indigenous rhizobia”
t0“Growth promotion and yield attribute improvement of five groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Inoculation with certain PGPRs increased groundnut growth and yield parameters.
- Intervention effect PGPR strains RF8, SI12, SR6, SI16, SI27 and SS10 were the most efficient in improving growth and yield attributes of groundnut varieties Essamay, Amoul Morom and Sunu Gaal.
- Intervention effect Groundnut varieties Fleur 11 and 55-437 were less responsive to inoculation in yield attributes.
- Association The response of groundnut to inoculation depends on the variety.
- Mechanism The unexpected chlorophyll increase may be attributed to a lower N2 fixation capacity of the indigenous rhizobia.
- Recommendation Bacterial biofertilisers are promising for use in groundnut cultivation.
