A field study was carried out during the rainy (kharif) season of 2019 at Regional Research Station, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and Faridkot, Punjab, to effect phosphorus levels biofertilizers on symbiotic parameters, productivity, profitability soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The experiment comprised 4 (0, 17, 26 35 kg P/ha) biofertilizer treatments [uninoculated control, Brady...

This study used a [(13)C]DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) technique to elucidate a direct pathway for the translocation of (13)C-labeled photoassimilate from maize plants to extraradical mycelium-associated phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) that mediate the mineralization and turnover of soil organic phosphorus (P) in the hyphosphere. Inoculation with PSB alone did not provide any benefit t...

Use of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as inoculants has concurrently increased phosphorous uptake in plants and improved yields in several crop species. The ability of PSB to improve growth of aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.) through enhanced phosphorus (P) uptake from Christmas island rock phosphate (RP) was studied in glasshouse experiments. Two isolated PSB strains; Bacillus spp. PSB9 a...

ABSTRACT- To investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds NPK contents of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Kurdistan University in 2009 growing season. Treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living N fixing bacteria (NFB), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

Phosphate-solubilizing and nitrogen-fixing bacteria are crucial in increasing soil fertility restoring properties damaged by salinity other abiotic environmental factors. The presented study aims to explore identify the morphological characteristics of phosphate-solubilizing saline soil. This took place from August until November 2022 field laboratory Faculty Agriculture, Universitas Muhammadiy...

environmental problems associated with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and abiotic stresses due to soil pollution by heavy metals have encouraged use of biological fertilizers in modern agriculture. in order to protect environment and reduce the tension caused by heavy metals, it is essential to use biofertilizer in crop production. to assess the effects of biofertilizers on yield and...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the major essential macronutrient for plant growth. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PCB) is a group of heterotrophic bacteria capable of solubilizing organic and inorganic phosphorus from insoluble compounds, releasing phosphate available for plant uptake. In this study endophytic bacteria were isolated form nodules of French bean grown in different intercropping syste...

phosphorus is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development. chemical pi fertilizer is used to provide the phosphorus for the plants, but it is mostly fixed in the soil into insoluble form and become unavailable to the plants. phosphate-solubilizing bacteria have lots of application in agriculture as biological fertilizer. consumption of biofertilizers instead of chemical...
