Introduction of quinoa (Chenopodium willd.), a gluten-free nutritious pseudo-cereal, outside its traditional growing areas exposed it to seedling damping-off. Here, we isolated eleven phosphate-solubilizing bacteria from the rhizosphere and assessed their effect on germination seedlings growth. All isolates solubilized phosphate, produced indole3-acetic acid, hydrocyanic siderophores, ammonia. ...

an experiment was conducted at assossa agricultural research center (aarc) station during 2008 cropping season in order to study the effects of co-inoculation of bradyrhizobium japonicum (tal-378 and tal-379) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (psb) (pseudomonas spp.), and conventional farmers’ fertilizer level (combined and individual application of 46n kg ha-1 and 46 p2o5 kg ha-1) on nodulat...

Abstract Background Wild potato species harbor a distinctive rhizosphere microbiome relative to their modern counterparts, thus providing competitive advantage for acquiring phosphorus (P) in native habitats. Despite this, the effects of transferring phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB), recruited from wild potatoes rhizosphere, on varieties’ performance has not been investigated. Here, it wa...

Trichoderma sp., a well known biological control agent against several phytopathogens, was tested for its phosphate (P) solubilizing potential. Fourteen strains of Trichoderma sp. were isolated from the forest tree rhizospheres of pinus, deodar, bamboo, guava and oak on Trichoderma selective medium. The isolates were tested for their in-vitro P-solubilizing potential using National Botanical Re...
