t0“Mesorhizobium ciceri and PGPR (Pseudomonas diminuta) in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)”
e1“Liquid inoculants of Mesorhizobium sp. and PGPR indicated better nodulation than their carrier-based inoculants registering significant increases of 35. 1 and 30. 9% in nodule number and numerical increases of 25. 9 and 2. 7% in nodule dry weight at 60 days crop age, respectively”
