Abstract:
Increasing cost of the fertilizers with lesser nutrient use efficiency necessitates alternate means to fertilizers. Soil microorganisms play a significant role in number of chemical transformations of soils and thus, influence the availability of macro- and micronutrients. The efficacy of different microbial strains for improving plant nutrient availability in soil was tested in this study. Treatments including nine microbial strains along with recommended dose of fertilizers and one control in three replications were used. Results indicated that inoculation with Pseudomonas sp (KSB-PD-1-A) along with RDF of NPK followed by Pseudomonas sp (KSB-M-1) were found considerably effective in enhancing soil chemical properties.
