COMPOSITION COMPRISING PLANT GROWTH PROMOTING RHIZOBACTERIA FOR ENHANCING NODULATION, NITROGEN FIXATION, GRAIN YIELD AND PROTEIN YIELD OF LEGUMES GROWN UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS CONDITIONS THAT INHIBIT OR DELAY NODULATION THEREOF

摘要

Compositions for enhancing grain yield and protein yield of a legume grown under environmental conditions that inhibit or delay nodulation thereof are provided. The compositions comprise aPGPR strain. Moreover, methods for enhancing grain yield and protein yield of a legume grown under environmental conditions that inhibit or delay nodulation thereof are provided. The methods comprise an addition of an agriculturally effective amount of a PGPR strain in the vicinity of the seed or root of the legume.
