Phenotypic diversity, symbiotic effectiveness and plant growth promoting characteristics of rhizobia nodulating chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) from central and south gondar zones, Ethiopia.

Abstract excerpt

In Ethiopia, chickpea productivity is below half of its potential, which could be due to various environmental constraints, including low soil nutrients, the absence of compatible strains, low rhizobia population in the soil, pests, and diseases. Identifying efficient and superior rhizobia strains from the local agroecology has paramount importance for enhancing chickpea production and improving soil fertility....
