Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect A+P1+B2 with 75% nitrogen produced the tallest plants and most branches relative to controls and other inoculants.
- Intervention effect A+P1 with 75% nitrogen produced the tallest plants and most branches relative to controls and other inoculants.
- Intervention effect The two bacterial mixtures increased herb fresh and dry weight relative to controls and other inoculants.
- Intervention effect Both mixtures yielded essential oil percentage and yield at least as high as controls.
- Intervention effect 75% N plus A+P1 increased beta pinene and camphor percentages.
- Intervention effect 75% N plus A+P1+B2 increased linalool percentage.
- Intervention effect The two treatments decreased methyl chavicol percentage.
- Association Growth and yield improvements were associated with increased tissue carbohydrates, N, P and K.
- Intervention effect PGPR inoculation increased rhizosphere nitrogenase activity.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that either bacterial mixture can compensate for mineral nitrogen demand and improve basil growth and herb and oil yield.
