Abstract Abiotic stresses like salt stress and soil compaction are
responsible for increased ethylene production which may adversely
affect crop growth. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate
the response of seed inoculation with ACC-deaminase containing
rhizobacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas syringae) in
the presence of recommended or half of a recommended rate of inorganic
fertilizers at different growth stages of fodder maize in a
compacted saline-sodic soil. At both fertilizer rates, seed inoculation
with P. fluorescens and P. syringae significantly improved all growth
parameters over the control treatment. After 30, 60 and 75 days of
sowing, treatment with recommended NPK… More >
