| Innovation Title | Plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGP) for sweet sorghum |
| Innovation description | Sweet sorghum bagasse compost prepared with microbes successfully promoted plant growth and significantly enhanced yields in sweet sorghum. Also, five strains of Streptomyces and another 5 strains of Bacillus were evaluated as bio-control agents against Fusarium wilt and PGP agents in chickpea. Under both greenhouse and wilt sick field conditions, the selected Streptomyces and Bacillus isolates reduced disease incidence and delayed expression of symptoms of disease, over the non-inoculated |
