Abstract:
Green plants produce a varied arrangement of primary and secondary metabolites. Chlorophylls are the principal metabolites that give leaves and fruits their colour. Chlorophylls spectrum characteristics are critical for capturing light energy and transducing absorbed light energy for photosynthesis. Like other plants, Chlorophyll content affects leaf colour and photosynthetic activity. The amount of Chlorophyll in a plant's leaves impacts its photosynthetic capability per unit area of its leaf and stress and nutritional inadequacies. The Arnon method was used to analyze the concentrations of Chlorophyll a and b. This work investigates the PGPR element regulating Chlorophyll content and supply defence in chickpea plants. After that, the chickpea plant was examined for a Chlorophyll estimation test for 30, 60, and 90 days. We noticed treated crops having CHL content, which was found to have different values after thirty, sixty, and ninety days.
