Plant beneficial rhizobacteria (PBR) improve salt tolerance and plant yield in vegetable plants by producing 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate‐deaminase, indole‐3‐acetic acid and phosphate solubilization. Organic‐based carrier material is needed to ensure the PBR's uniform application, distribution, survival and functioning in a variety of fields. The PBR also use carbon present in the carrier as food and energy source. The selection of a suitable organic‐based carrier material for the application of the PBR in normal and saline soils always has received less attention. The current study compared the PBR suitability of different organic‐based carrier materials (biochar, biogas residues [BGRs] and coconut powder) and evaluated their effects on okra productivity under normal and saline soil conditions.
