Abstract

Of the total 450 salt tolerant bacterial isolates, GP-21 was identified as an efficient P-solubilizer, GS-36 as nitrogen fixer and MP-63 as 1M producer. Their combined inoculation significantly enhanced shoot nitrogen content, which resulted in higher seed yield of mungbean under elevated salt stress.
