“…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.…”

“…Therefore, an integrated application of biofertilizer as microbial inoculum in the agriculture field to minimise the agrochemical use under sustainable agricultural practices must be needed. Application of PGPM either with seed treatment, soil application, and foliar use help to reduce the pathogenic infection as well as induce plant growth promoting activities (Mukherjee et al, 2020b). Till date a lot of microbial inoculants are available in the market and the number of commercial microbial agent's increased spontaneously as different studies have been conducted to verify their effectiveness (Berg, 2009).…”

“…The application of seed endophytic bacteria in sustainable agriculture is a burning approach but very limited studies are conducted on it (Mukherjee et al, 2020b). Harnessing seed microbiome is considered as a viable emerging approach to sustainably increase agriculture productivity, soil sustainability and land development.…”

“…While research studies showed that the use of bio-inoculants didn't show good results in field conditions due to lack of indigenous strains and different agro-climatic zone. Recently, it was proposed that if the bioinoculants were developed either from plant endophytes, core microbiota or with the crop microbiome, the result showed significant outcomes with the application of bioinoculants, (Mukherjee et al, 2020b;Qiu et al, 2019). However, most of the evidence for seed microbiome came from the molecular approaches and very few extensive field level works have been done with the isolated seed microbes.…”

Sustainable agronomic practices are tried all over the world to promote safe and eco-friendly crop production. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of seed endophytic bacteria and its consortia on soil biochemical property, soil nutrient, and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under field and pot conditions are investigated. Both the experimental results proved a significant increase in total soil organic carbon (OC), electric conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), soil nutrient like available N, P and K content and important soil enzymes like dehydrogenase (DHA), beta glucosidase, alkaline phosphate, and urease was observed under the Enterobacter hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (T1), Enterobacter cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (T2) and combined T3 (consortia of T1 and T2) treatments. Similarly, a significant increase in the grain yield (27-45% and 57-73%) in microbial treatment was found in pot and field experiments, respectively than control. In addition, whereas the higher plant biomass (14-38% and 42-78%) was recorded in the treated plant over the control plant. Similarly, the plant photosynthetic pigment (Chl a, b, total Chl) were also increased in the microbial treated plant than the control untreated chickpea plant. Our present study highlights the significance of sustainable agronomic practices for improving the soil quality and agricultural yield while reducing adverse impacts of chemicals by the use of seed endophytic microbes and their consortia.

The main aim of this study was to explore the potential role of wheat endophytic bacteria on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production and soil health management under pot and field trials. Seven plant growth-promoting putative endophytes were isolated from different wheat plant parts (root, shoot, leaf, and seed). We selected two effective bacterial strains, Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV-WRO5 (from the "Pseudomonas koreensis" subgroup) originating from the root and Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV-WLE7 isolated from leaf, based on plant growth-promoting traits like indole-3-acetic acid, ammonia, siderophore production, and phosphate solubilization. We conducted pot and field experiments with treatments T1 (uninoculated), T2 (Pseudomonas sp.), and T3 (Staphylococcus sp.). In pots, grain yield was higher with Pseudomonas sp. or S. xylosus than in the control. Similarly, grain yield in the field was increased with Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV-WRO5 or Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV-WLE7 compared with control. Pseudomonas sp. BHUJPV-WRO5 also resulted in higher soil electrical conductivity (both pot and field), total organic carbon (in field), soil contents in available N, P, and K (in pot and field), and potential activity in soil of alkaline phosphatase (pot and field), dehydrogenase and β-glucosidase (in pot). The effects of Staphylococcus sp. BHUJPV-WLE7 were smaller, with however, higher soil levels for electrical conductivity (in pot), total organic carbon (in field), available P (in pot and field), and higher potential activity of alkaline phosphatase (in pot) than control. Overall, the putative wheat endophytes effectively enhanced plant growth, crop productivity, and soil quality, and Pseudomonas stain is promising as a bio-inoculant for sustainable wheat production.

Therefore, in the present study, the effect of seed endophytic bacteria and its consortium on soil biochemical property and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under field and pot conditions are investigated. Both the experimental results proved a significant increase in total soil organic carbon (OC), electric conductivity (EC), organic matter (OM), and soil nutrients like available N, P, and K content and important soil enzymes like dehydrogenase (DHA), beta glucosidase, alkaline phosphate, urease, and microbial population in soil was observed under the Enterobacter hormaechei BHUJPCS-15 (T 1 ), Enterobacter cloacae BHUJPCS-21 (T 2 ), and combined T 3 (consortium of T 1 and T 2 ) treatments. Similarly, a significant increase in the grain yield (27-45% and 57-73%) in microbial treatment was found in pot and field experiments, respectively, than in control. In addition, whereas the higher plant biomass (14-38% and 42-78%) was recorded in treated plant over the control plant. Similarly, the plant photosynthetic pigments (Chl a, b, total Chl) were increased in microbial treated plant than the control untreated chickpea plant. Consortium of endophytes were recorded effective result for enhancing plant growth attributes, productivity, and soil health. The consortium can be further used as biofertilizers for sustainable chickpea production.

Due to loss of organic matter (OM) and decomposition of different chemicals into the agricultural soil, productivity of agricultural crops reduces. Currently, other major problems are random industrialization, urbanization, and cutting of natural forest. In addition, the poor agro-waste management practices increase the greenhouse gas emissions, random chemical use leads to loss of soil quality and fertility along with the loss of soil biodiversity (Abhilash et al., 2016). Furthermore, the overgrowth of population around the world requires more quality food in limited fertile soils.
