The aim of this study was to access the bioassociative effect of two rhizospheric Pseudomonas spp. with effective root nodulating symbiotic nitrogen fixer Rhizobium leguminosarum-PR1 on plant growth and nutrients uptake of lentil (Lens culinaris L.) plant under greenhouse conditions. Lentil seeds of variety VL Masoor 507 were inoculated with two cold tolerant Pseudomonas sp. strains (NARs1, PGERs17) and R. leguminosarum-PR1, individually or in combination, and were grown in pots using nonsterile sandy loam Entisol. Inoculation with Pseudomonas sp. strain PGERs17 exhibits more vigorous vegetative growth with increase in nodulation (55.0%), leghaemoglobin content (27.7%), physiologically available iron (24.1%), total iron (90.7%) chlorophyll content (43.9%), P uptake (37.1%) and N uptake (27.1%) over R. leguminosarum-PR1 alone at 60 days after sowing (DAS). Coinoculation of Pseudomonas sp …
