Abstracts |
This review presents the comprehensive analysis of the application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for the improvement of mulberry growth and leaf yield. Apart from the plant growth improvement, the role of nitrogen fixing bacteria, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) in reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, nutrient up take and improvement in soil fertility has also been reviewed. Further, the approach to induce para nodulation in mulberry roots by inoculation of N fixers, P solubilizing bacteria and development of multispecies microbial consortium for mulberry growth and leaf yield improvement has been discussed. |
