Influence of nanosilicon dioxide along with bioinoculants on Zea mays and its rhizospheric soil.

ABSTRACT: Application of nanocompounds along with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria is gaining attention to improve agriculture productivity. In the present study, attempts have been made to observe the impact of nanosilicon dioxide (10 mg L^-1) and two plant growth promotory bacteria (PC1-MK106029) and (PC4-MK106024) on the growth of Zea mays and its rhizosphere in a pot experiment. Combined treatment of bacterial consortium and nanosilicon dioxide enhanced average plant height and number of leaves over control in maize after 30 days of sowing. Similarly, percent enhancement of total chlorophyll, carotenoid, sugar, soluble protein, phenol and flavonoid content was 106, 307, 116, 57, 159 and 132 respectively over control in maize leaves in the same treatment.
