Sole and composite impact of microbial inoculation on chickpea grown in soils treated
with phosphate fertilizer where T1 indicates control; T2, urea (30 kg/ha); T3, DAP (80 kg/ha); T4,

PGPR, and PSB had maximum positive effect and profoundly enhanced the sym-
biotic properties and yield of mung bean grains (Bansal
