  • Abstract:
  • The cowpea, a legume crop typically cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions, is an essential food source for both humans and livestock. The effectiveness and growth of plants are hindered by abiotic stresses, such as salt stress. The purpose of this research was to examine the in vitro effect of salt stress on seedling growth and germination potential of cowpea and the role of salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria to overcome the effect of salt stress and improve the growth of cowpea seedlings under different concentrations of NaCl. In this study, three bacterial cultures were used to overcome the effect of salt stress on cowpea. Thalassobacillus devorans, Bacillus paralicheniformis, and Pseudalkalibacillus salsuginis were used to overcome the effect of salt stress on cowpea.
