e0“Using cell cultures, cultures filtrates and metabolic precipitates of both PGPR strains significantly increased growth parameters (plant height and number of branches per plant), yield components (numbers of pod and seed /plant, weight of 100 seed, total yield / feddan and protein content in seeds) compared with untreated seeds (control) during growing seasons 2013-14 and 2014-15 under field conditions”
