Abstract:The present study was conducted to isolate and identify PGPB associated with two halophyte plants from coastal saline site. These strains were tested for improved crop productivity under salinity conditions. Four strains namely MA9, MA14, MA17 and MA19 were selected The PGPB-inoculated plants were relatively healthy and hydrated, whereas the uninoculated plant leaves were desiccated in the presence of 125 mM NaCl. The percentage of water content (PWC) in the plant was also significantly higher in inoculated pl… Show more
