Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Under drought, finger millet biomass showed little negative effect when a common mycorrhizal network was present, with or without PGPR.
- Intervention effect Without biofertilization, finger millet biomass under drought was less than half that under well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect Biofertilization with AMF alleviates the negative effects of drought on finger millet.
- Observation In the presence of AMF, finger millet and pigeon pea acquired 15N and 33P from the labeling compartment.
