- Observation Microscopy confirmed colonisation of cotton roots by inoculated cyanobacteria/biofilms.
- Association Cotton mortality, hydrolytic enzyme activity and root fresh weight were significantly correlated.
- Intervention effect Biofilmed formulations substantially reduced cotton mortality in sick plots.
- Recommendation The authors support cyanobacteria inoculation for integrated cotton nutrient and pest management.
- Recommendation Calothrix sp. was promising as a plant growth promoting and biocontrol agent.
- Recommendation Anabaena sp. was promising as a plant growth promoting and biocontrol agent.
