- Observation All tested rhizobial strains produced phytohormones, fixed nitrogen and solubilized phosphates.
- Observation All tested rhizobial strains solubilized zinc and synthesized ACC deaminase.
- Observation The strains antagonized F. graminearum.
- Observation The strains antagonized B. sorokiniana.
- Observation The strains antagonized Xanthomonas campestris.
- Intervention effect R. tropici B-216 treatment increased wheat shoot and root length.
- Intervention effect E. meliloti 441 B-219 treatment increased chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in some wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect R. tropici B-216 treatment increased chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in some wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect R. tropici positively affected shoot and root weight in all wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect E. mexicanus B-4064 positively affected only germination in some wheat varieties.
- Intervention effect None of the tested strains significantly affected wheat nitrogen content.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that tested rhizobia have potential to stimulate wheat growth without significantly increasing nitrogen availability.
