2.3.1 Effect of rhizobacteria on rate of photosynthesis and transpiration
Photosynthesis related parameters viz ., photosynthetic rate; transpiration rate, stomatal conductance and leaf temperature were measured from the bioefficacy trial of rhizobacterial treatments at 45 days after the inoculation by using an infrared gas analyser (IRGA) (LI6400XT portable photosynthesis system, LI-COR, Inc, Nebraska, USA) between 11 to 12 AM.
