Thirty eight isolates of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolated from Faisalabad soils were screened on the basis of their ability to produce auxins (indole-3-acetic-equivalents) in vitro. Seeds of two wheat cultivars (Inqlab and LV 26S) inoculated with these isolates were sown in the field, under optimum fertilization (NPK @ 150-75-50 kg ha'). Data revealed that increases in grain yields ofcv. Inqlab and LV 26S due to inoculation with PGPR isolates were upto 15.3% and 18.5%, respectively compared with uninoculated respective controls. Inoculation with PGPR also significantly increased the number of tillers, straw weight and 1000-grain weight in both cultivars. Plant height was increased only in case of wheat LU 26S.
