Application of PGPR strains significantly increased plant height
by combined and single inoculated strain ofEnterobacteras compared to uninoculated control (Table 4). Maximum 29.41% plant
heightwasobservedwithcombinedstrains B. megaterium,
A. chlorophenolicus and Enterobacter over uninoculated control.
Similarly triple combination of strains also significantly showed
27.52% grain and 29.52% straw followed with dual combination of
A. chlorophenolicusandEnterobacter, respectively as compared to
uninoculated control. However, single inoculation strains increased
8–18% plant height, 7.6–14.2% grain yield and 6.8–13.6% straw yield
over uninoculated control. Combined inoculation of dual and triple
treatments was showed significant in grain test weight and
