Bio-inoculants play an important role for sustainable agriculture. Application of nanocompounds in the agriculture sector provides strength and is reported to enhance crop production but the combined effect of nanocompounds and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria on plants has not been studied much. Therefore, the present study was planned to observe the effect of two plant growth promotory spp. along with nanozeolite on maize under field conditions using a randomized block design. Combined treatment of nanozeolite and bio-inoculants promoted plant height, root length, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root, chlorophyll, carotenoids, total sugar, protein and phenol contents in maize significantly over control. Enhanced level of catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, phenols, alcohols and acid-esters in treated plants over control showed their role in stress management. An increase of 29.80% in maize productivity over control was reported in the combined treatment of sp. and nanozeolite. Our results indicate that the application of bio-inoculants with nanozeolite showed a positive response on the health and productivity of maize plants. Hence, these may be used to enhance the productivity of different crops.

生物菌剂对可持续农业起着重要作用。纳米化合物在农业领域的应用增强了作用,并据报道能提高作物产量,但纳米化合物与植物促生根际细菌对植物的联合作用尚未得到充分研究。因此,本研究计划采用随机区组设计,在田间条件下观察两种植物促生菌以及纳米沸石对玉米的影响。纳米沸石与生物菌剂的联合处理显著促进了玉米的株高、根长、地上部和根部的鲜重与干重、叶绿素、类胡萝卜素、总糖、蛋白质和酚类物质含量,显著高于对照。处理植株中过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶、超氧化物歧化酶、酚类、醇类和酸酯类水平高于对照,表明它们在胁迫管理中的作用。在[具体菌种]与纳米沸石的联合处理中,玉米产量比对照提高了29.80%。我们的结果表明,生物菌剂与纳米沸石的应用对玉米植株的健康和生产力表现出积极响应。因此,这些可用于提高不同作物的生产力。
