Phosphorus-Solubilizing Microorganisms: A Key to Sustainable Agriculture

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth, being a highly required resource to improve productive performance several crops, especially in weathered soils. However, large part nutrients applied form fertilizers becomes “inert” medium term and cannot be assimilated by plants. Rationalizing use phosphorus matter extreme importance environmental sustainability socioeconomic development. Therefore, alternatives management this nutrient are needed, P-solubilizing microorganisms an option optimize its allowing exploration less available fractions soils reducing demand phosphate fertilizers. The objective study discuss how can intermediate sustainable agriculture. In review study, we present studies about role as mobilizers soil. We describe plants main problems related unsustainable exploitation natural reserves chemical Mainly highlight constitute fundamental release inert portion nutrient, where mechanisms solubilization mineralization. also discussed benefits that inoculation provides crops well practices using them bioinoculants. inoculants viable future agriculture, mainly because application significantly reduce P and, consequently, reserves. addition, new research must conducted development technologies, prospecting biological products, improvement allow higher efficiency
