Abstract

Biofertilizers have attracted considerable attention among agronomists and soil scientists due to their potential for promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This study investigates the effects of biofertilizers on some agronomic traits of Phaseolus vulgaris and rhizobacterial populations. A mesocosm experiment was conducted in a greenhouse over five weeks using a randomised block design with six replications. The treatments included microbial inoculants (Rhizobium sp., Azotobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp.), a consortium of these microorganisms, NPK 315 fertilizer and positive control. Key parameters measured were seed germination, leaf, stem and shoot growth, as well as rhizosphere bacterial populations. Results showed significant variability in seed germination rates. Treatment F (NPK 315) achieved the highest germination rate (90% by Day 6), statistically similar to the positive control. Treatment C (Pseudomonas sp.) had the lowest germination rates (p
