Phosphates are known to be essential for plant growth and development, with phosphorus
compounds being involved in various physiological and biochemical reactions. Phosphates …

Although research on plant growth promoting bacteria began in the 1950s, basic and
applied research on bacteria improving use of phosphorus (P) continues to be a priority …

Pseudomonas isolates have frequently been isolated from the rhizosphere of plants, and
several of them have been reported as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. In the present …

Nitrogen and phosphorus are critical for the vegetation ecosystem and two of the most
insufficient nutrients in the soil. In agriculture practice, many chemical fertilizers are being …

Rock powders are low-cost potential sources of most of the nutrients required by higher
plants for growth and development. However, slow dissolution rates of minerals represent …

To fulfil the demand of a growing population for rice food, a better understanding of soil
biological systems is urgently required to improve the efficient use of chemical fertilisers …

Rhizosphere microbes significantly enhance phosphorus (P) availability from a variety of
unavailable P pools in agricultural soils. However, little is known about the contribution of …

Deciphering distribution patterns of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and phosphorus-
cycling-related genes in soils is important to evaluate phosphorus (P) transformation …

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can alleviate available phosphorus (AP)-deficiency
without causing environmental pollution like chemical phosphate fertilizers. However, the …

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have the ability to dissolve insoluble phosphate and
enhance soil fertility. However, the growth and mineral phosphate solubilization of PSB …
