2.1 Microbial consortia development for pot and field
experiments
Isolation of chickpea seed endophytic bacteria and their biochemical,
molecular characterization and primary plant growth promoting test was
done previously (Mukherjee et al., 2020b). Depending on the all plant
growth promoting property we have selected two strains and prepared
their consortia depending on the compatibility. We have checked all
plant growth promoting biochemical property of microbial consortia by
the methods followed by Mukherjee et al. (2020b).
