Molecular Characterisation of Diazotrophic and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) for Sago Palm (Metroxylon sagu, Rottb.)

Sago palm (Metroxylon sagu, Rottb.) is one of the crops widely planted in Sarawak. The production of sago relies on the use of chemical fertilizers which contributes major concern on hazards to human health and environment. Advanced research today shows that plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (P...
