| dc.description.abstract | An investigation was carried out to study the synergistic effect of endophytic bacteria with Mesorhizobium on chickpea. Large number of endophytic bacteria have been isolated from different parts of chickpea. Fifteen endophytic bacteria were from nodules, roots and seeds of chickpea by using nutrient oxide agar media. Different morphological and biochemical tests were carried out for endophytic bacterial isolates their compatibility with Mesorhizobium UASB 835 were tested. Among fifteen three endophytic bacterial isolates were selected based on morphological and biochemical tests and their compatibility with Mesorhizobium UASB 835 of chickpea. Molecular characterization was done by using 16S rRNA sequencing for the three compatible endophytic bacterial isolates. Isolates CPN 4 was identified as Enterobacter sp. CPR 2 as Enterobacter hormeachie and CPS 1 were identified as uncultured gamma Proteobacteria. Effect of co-inoculation of endophytic bacteria with Mesorhizobium in different treatment combination were studied under green house condition using sterilized soil for their synergistic effect on chickpea. Inoculation of endophytic bacteria and Mesorhozobium were done by seed treatment and soil drenching method. The significant difference seen among the treatments. The plant height, nodulation, nodule number, nodule dry weight, plant biomass, rhizosphere bacterial population and plant nitrogen content was recorded highest in treatment T13 receiving the inoculation of CPN+ CPR+ CPS+ Mesorhizobium. The results revealed that, co-inoculation of nodule , root and seed endophytic bacteria with Mesorhizobium on chickpea encourages more robust crop with better plant health, disease resistance, biomass and ability to cope with environmental stresses. | en_US |
