Abstract:Chickpea is mainly used for human consumption; a small proportion forms part of animal and poultry feed. Chickpea growing area contributes about 30 % of total pulse acreage and about 40 % of the total pulse production of the country. Inoculation with bacterial isolates revealed that germination percentage in all the treatments, including control, exhibited 100 per cent in vitro. After 96 hours of incubation, maximum root length (cm) was recorded in isolate BI 43 (3.43) followed by BI 31 (3.33), BI 78 (3.27), B… Show more
