Summary
Abstract Utilizing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) offers a sustainable solution for enhancing root nutrient uptake, stimulating plant growth, and increasing crop resilience, while reducing the need for fertilizers. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of bacterial inoculants and different nutrient availability levels on cucumber plant development and nutrient accumulation. Seedlings were hydroponically grown in a completely randomized 4 × 3 factorial experimental design, which included four PGPR treatments (Azospirillum brasilense (AB), Ewingella americana (AS4), Pantoea agglomerans (AS8), and an uninoculated (Control) and three levels of nutrient availability (1X, 0.5X, and 0.1X) in the hydroponic solution, mimicking three different levels of crop fertilizatio
