  1. ΦEndopytic diazotrophic bacterial strain; *IAA concentrations were estimated by a modified colorimetric method; ΞBacterial strains were tested for the production of ammonia in peptone water; ΨSiderophore production by color change on CAS agar plates; Solubilization index were estimated using modified Pikovskaya’s agar plates; ♠The activity of cellulase was determined by measuring the release of reducing sugars using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC); ♥The activity of pectinase was assayed on the indicator plates supplemented with citrus pectin; ♦The activity of chitinase was assayed on the indicator plates supplemented with colloidal chitin
