This document summarizes a study that investigated the effects of inoculating fenugreek plants with nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria, alone and in combination, on plant growth and yield. Key findings include:
1) Inoculation with nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria increased nodulation, nodule weight, root and shoot growth, and pod number compared to the uninoculated control.
2) Co-inoculation with both bacteria further increased root and shoot growth and significantly increased fenugreek seed yield compared to the control or single inoculations.
3) Inoculation improved plant nutrient uptake and growth, demonstrating the potential of biofer
