Improved chickpea growth, physiology, nutrient assimilation and rhizoremediation of hydrocarbons by bacterial consortia

Abstract Background Soil pollution by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) reduces yield by changing the physico-chemical properties of soil and plants due to PHCs’ biotoxicity and persistence. Thus, removing PHCs from the soil is crucial for ecological sustainability. Microbes-assisted phytoremediation is...
