Uncovering potentials of an association panel subset for nitrogen fixation and sustainable chickpea productivity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a nutritious legume that fixes atmospheric nitrogen through Rhizobium symbiosis, enhancing growth and yield. Sustainable agriculture is essential to address food security, climate change, and environmental sustainability. Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) improve crop productivity, reduce chemical fertilizer use, and support eco-friendly farming. This study highlights PGPR's role in enhancing chickpea yield, resilience, and resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. PGPR reduces chemical dependency, preserves ecosystems, and supports global sustainability goals. Findings demonstrate PGPR's potential to improve food security and promote equitable distribution. This research offers innovative strategies for advanc
