Inoculation of Bacillus cabrialesii modulates plant growth and wilt disease of chickpea cultivars pre-challenged with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris.
BACKGROUND Bacillus cabrialesii, a plant growth-promoting (PGP) and biocontrol bacterium, was first reported in Mexico in 2018. This study evaluates the PGP and antagonistic potential of two B. cabrialesii strains, IS-10 and BATS-13, isolated from the chickpea rhizospheric soils of Chhattisgarh, India. It also assesses...
