Unraveling Nitrogen Fixing Potential of Endophytic Diazotrophs of Different Saccharum Species for Sustainable Sugarcane Growth.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is one of the world's highly significant commercial crops. The amounts of synthetic nitrogen (N₂) fertilizer required to grow the sugarcane plant at its initial growth stages are higher, which increases the production costs and adverse environmental consequences globally. To combat this issue, sustainable environmental and economic concerns among researchers are necessary. The endophytic diazotrophs can offer significant amounts of nitrogen to crops through the biological nitrogen fixation mediated nif gene. The nifH gene is the most extensively utilized molecular marker in nature for studying N₂ fixing microbiomes. The present research intended to determine the existence of novel endophytic diazotrophs through
