Effects of using enhanced biofertilizer containing N-fixer bacteria on patchouli growth

Producing effective biofertilizer is crucial for environment and future demands while patchouli is important essential oil plants in the world. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of enhancing biofertilizer with N-fixer bacteria by applying on patchouli plant. In this study, growt...
