Co-Inoculation of <i>Bacillus</i> spp. for Growth Promotion and Iron Fortification in Sorghum
Seven <i>Bacillus</i> spp. isolated from the marine water and the rhizosphere of the medicinal plant <i>Coscinium fenestratum</i> were studied to produce plant growth promotion (PGP) traits <i>invitro.</i> Among the seven isolates, MMRH22 and RHPR20 produced copio...

Seven <i>Bacillus</i> spp. isolated from the marine water and the rhizosphere of the medicinal plant <i>Coscinium fenestratum</i> were studied to produce plant growth promotion (PGP) traits <i>invitro.</i> Among the seven isolates, MMRH22 and RHPR20 produced copious amounts of PGP traits. Based on the 16S rRNA sequence, the two potent bacterial isolates, RHPR20 and MMRH22, were identified as <i>Bacillus mojavensis</i> and <i>Bacillus cereus,</i> respectively. A compatibility test between the isolates RHPR20 and MMRH22 revealed they are compatible and can be used as a consortium. Both isolates were evaluated for the plant growth promotion and the biofortification of sorghum under greenhouse conditions. Treatments included the application of MMRH22, RHPR20, their consortium (RHPR20 + MMRH22), and an uninoculated control. Inoculation with bacterial cultures resulted in a significant increase in the plant height; the number of leaves; the leaf area; the root, shoot, and leaf weight; and the yield of sorghum at 30 and 60 days after sowing (DAS).
