Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Chickpea inoculated with Mesorhizobium mediterraneum or Rhizophagus irregularis had significantly increased biomass without water deficit, and with M. mediterraneum under moderate water deficit.
- Intervention effect Under moderate water deficit, grain crude protein was increased by 13% in plants inoculated with M. mediterraneum.
- Intervention effect Under moderate water deficit, grain crude protein was increased by 17% in plants inoculated with R. irregularis.
- Intervention effect Under moderate water deficit, grain crude protein was increased by 22% in plants inoculated with M. mediterraneum + R. irregularis.
- Recommendation Inoculation with N-fixing bacteria and AM fungi has the potential to benefit chickpea production under water deficit.
