Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect GA3 at 10−5 M with rhizobium gave the highest nodule number, 16 per chickpea plant.
- Intervention effect GA3 at 10−5 M with rhizobium gave the highest nodule dry biomass, 0.22 g.
- Intervention effect GA3 alone significantly enhanced chickpea growth.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and GA3 at 10−5 M enhanced chickpea height by up to 35%.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and GA3 at 10−5 M enhanced chickpea grain yield by up to 39%.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and GA3 at 10−5 M enhanced chickpea stover yield by up to 21%.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and GA3 at 10−5 M enhanced chickpea chlorophyll contents by up to 51%.
- Intervention effect Combined Rhizobium and GA3 maximized chickpea N, P and K bioaccumulation.
- Mechanism The authors conclude Rhizobium and GA3 have synergistic effects on chickpea growth, yield and nutrient contents.
