Isolation and Characterization of Rhizosphere-Competent Indigenous Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria for Biofertilizer Applications
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for crop growth and development. Low levels of P in soil is due to high reactivity of soluble P with calcium (Ca), iron (Fe) or aluminum (Al) that lead to P precipitation. Mineral phosphate (P) solubilization is an important activity of rhizospheric bacteria that contribute significantly to the plant growth and development in eco-friendly manner. Four potent phosphate solubilizers (PSB-2, PSB-3, PSB-4 and PSB-7), …
