Discussion

Field experiment shows PGPR improves soil chemical properties and okra yield, suggesting benefits for sustainable practices.

Inoculation with PGPR led to a 27.85% increase in leaf number and 28.56% higher okra yield, enhancing plant growth and yield.
Mixed strains of PGPR resulted in a significant 30% reduction in chemical fertiliser use while boosting soil health metrics.
Field trial assessed various treatments, including organic and chemical fertilisers, measuring their effects on okra growth parameters.
Utilizing PGPR as a biofertiliser shows potential for reducing reliance on chemical inputs in agriculture.

Mustapha et al. (2025) studied this question.
