Synergistic effect of biochar and plant growth promoting bacteria improve the growth and phytostabilization potential of Sorghum bicolor in Cd and Zn contaminated soils
The synergetic effect of biochar (BC) and plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) on phytoremediation potential of plants in heavy metal (HM) contaminated soils was not well understood. A pot experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of banana pith derived BC (0, 2.5 and 5%, w/w) as soil amendment together with inoculation of PGPB […]

Co-application of biochar and salt tolerant PGPR to improve soil quality and wheat production in a naturally saline soil
Soil salinity is a global problem that drastically reduces crop productivity. Therefore, there is a need to make saline soils productive. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biochar have been shown to increase crop productivity and soil fertility when applied separately. However, their co -application in this regard has not been studied extensively. In this […]
