Contribution, Limitations and Future Of Plant Growth Promoting Consortium in Sustainable Agriculture
Abstract: Current agricultural methods rely significantly on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals to enhance plant growth and combat pathogens, aiming to boost crop yields. However, the accumulation of chemical residues in the soil diminishes soil fertility considerably over a period. These accumulated chemicals gradually alter the soil's chemical composition, ultimately rendering it infertile. The high-risk conditions associated with these agricultural chemicals such as bioaccumulation, chemical toxicity and development of resistance …

Breeding for Biotic Stresses Resistance in Vegetable Crops: A Review
Abstract: AbstractVegetable pests and diseases have major effect on its production. Although application of fungicides and pesticides has helped control plant diseases and insect/pests, but indiscriminate use of hazardous chemical causes environment pollution, chemical residues in vegetables above threshold levels and emergence of new races/biotypes. Therefore at this junction, breeding for the development of biotic resistant cultivars is major objective of vegetable breeder’s. Basic research on the genetic bases of pest …

Effect of Rhizobium and PGPR inoculants in soybean (Glycine Max) on Productivity and Fertility in soybean (Glycine Max) –wheat (Tritium aesivum) cropping system under Vertisols of central India
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at farmer’s field village Basoda (Vidisha) during kharif season 2018 and 2019 to study the effect of Rhizobium and PGPR inoculants on soybean (Glycine Max (L) Merr.). The residual effect of treatments applied in soybean was assessed on productivity of succeeding wheat (Tritium aesivum L.). The trial was set up in randomized block design with seven treatments and four replications. Rhizobium alone gave significant increase …
