They are reported to increase legume nodulation when associated with rhizobia (Elkoca;Kantar;Sahin, 2008;Qureshi et al, 2009) and increase root growth and uptake of N, phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sulfur (S) (Abd-allah et al, 2018;Singh et al, 2018;Hashem;Tabassum;Abd-alla, 2019;Mukherjee;Singh;Verma, 2020;Verma et al, 2020). These factors consequently favor plant growth and yield Verma, 2014;Abdiev et al, 2019;Verma et al, 2020;Solanki;Gurjar;Sharma, 2023).…”
