Drought stress affects various physiological and metabolic processes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) plant. Non-availability of high-yielding varieties suitable for cultivation under drought condition lead to sharp decline in rice yield. The current study was aimed to carry out to assess the impact of PPFM and plant growth promoters on mitigating drought stress effects in semi dry rice. Field experiment was carried out in semi dry rice variety ADT 45 along with foliar spray different plant growth promoters like PPFM (500 ml ha-1 ), brassinolide (1 ppm) and salicylic acid (100 ppm) under semi dry condition. | Influence of pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs) and plant growth promoters on proline, nitrate reductase and catalase activity on semi dry rice
