Influence of Different Doses and Methods of Phosphorous Solubilizing Bacteria and Phosphorus Levels on the Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria Population and Phosphorous Use Efficiency in Sunflower and Chickpea

A field experiment was conducted to study The effect of the application method and different doses phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) phosphorus levels on sunflower during Rabi, 2020 at College Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. laid out in Randomized Block Design, comprising eleven treatments with three replications. Initial soil parameters experimental site indicated that belongs sandy loam texture, alkaline reaction, non-saline, low O.C, available nitrogen, medium phosphorus, potassium sulphur. results showed due addition PSB powdered liquid form there an increase population soil, is 75% + 6 kg/ha both crops. more than Drenching. Due this also phosphorous use efficiency. above combined reduced P could help saving fertilizer dose extent 25% 50% chickpea.
