Abstract
Oxidative stress is the common negative impact of water stress in the
plant which severity disrupts the whole cellular activities of the plant. Rice
seeds sown with treatment of Azospirillum under deficit of water.
The oxidative stress caused by the water stress with the excess production of
superoxide dismutase and hydrogen peroxide is scavenged by the superoxide
dismutase, catalase and proxidase. Azospirillum treated seeds sown under
water deficit stress induced by Polyethylene glycol (PEG) to analyze the
tolerance against water stress at seedlings stage of rice. The four doses of Azospirillum
viz. (0, 10, 15, 20) ml per kg of seeds interact with four level of PEG (0,
15, 20, 25) %, applied in soaking seeds. The treatment combination (Azospirillum
15 ml/kg + PEG 0%) and (Azospirillum 10 ml/kg + PEG 0%) were found
better as compare to other treatment combination. The treatment combination (Azospirillum
15 ml/kg + PEG 25%) was found best among all the treated seeds in comparison to
other treatment and control. Thus, Azospirillum is sustainable
biofertilizers which keep the healthy seedlings of rice under water stress.
