Rice yield improved with endophytic bacteria from xerophytic plants, indicating effective drought adaptation.
The highest growth and yield parameters were seen in rice treated with Acacia albida, achieving a harvest index of 0.40.
Nine bacterial species were identified, with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens prevalent across all trees, highlighting microbial diversity.
Four principal components accounted for nearly all variations in growth, pointing to the significant role of specific endophytes.
