Abstract

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can improve plant development and protect plants from diseases and abiotic stresses. Plant-bacterial interactions in the rhizosphere are important factors in soil fertility and plant health. Symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria include the cyanobacteria of the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Azorhizobium, Allorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium. Therefore, to investigate the effect of co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium and phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) on groundnut crop under field conditions using normal soil, divided into eight different study groups i.e., control (T₁), Bradyrhizobium isolate -1 (T₂), Bradyrhizobium isolate -2 (T₃), Bradyrhizobium isolate -3(T₄), Phosphate solubilizing microbe (PSM) (T₅), T₂ + PSM (T₆), T₃ + PSM (T7), T₄ + PSM (T8). The results showed maximum groundnut pod yield (2428 kg ha^-1) was obtained in treatment where inoculation with bacterial isolate-2 applied as compared to control. In case of plant height and shoot dry biomass, maximum response was observed in T₇ (59.4 cm, 4733 kg ha^-1) as compared to control i.e., 40.5 cm, 3156.7 kg ha^-1respectively. It was concluded that this technique might be useful and applicable to cut down the high input cost of phosphate fertilizers for the production of other crops also
