Abstract

The salinity and sodicity of soils lead to the inhibition of the plant’s growth and disequilibrium of the nutrients, and thus reduce their plant uptake in the soil. The aims of this study were to characterize the indigenous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) of wheat rhizosphere and to evaluate their ability with sulfur to improve nutrient uptake and wheat yield in saline-sodic soils. To do so, the bacteria were isolated from wheat rhizosphere cultivated in saline-sodic soils and screened for plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits. The superior PGPR was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A greenhouse experiment was carried out in a completely randomized factorial design with different levels of salinity and sodicity, bacteria inoculation, and levels of sulfur along with Thiobacillus thiooxidans. Results showed that Pseudomonas alcaliphila, Bacillus subtilis, and Rhizobium pusense were the superior PGPR in the wheat rhizosphere. Grain yield and nutrient concentrations of wheat grain decreased with increasing soil salinity and sodicity. Bacteria inoculation, especially R. pusense showed a marked exopolysaccharide and ACC-deaminase production increased grain yield, N and P concentrations and Ca/Mg ratio at different levels of soil sodicity and salinity. R. pusence and B. subtilis facilitated higher concentrations of N and P in wheat when used concurrently with sulfur and T. thiooxidans, respectively. Overall, the results indicated that the application of isolated PGPR of wheat rhizosphere possessed PGP traits especially R. pusense along with sulfur and T. thiooxidans, resulted in excellent benefits on wheat growth in saline-sodic soils.
