Rhizobium and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria Influence the Soil Nutrient Availability, Growth, Yield, and Quality of Soybean

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), while excessive use chemical fertilizers causes environmental hazards. Use rhizobium phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can be a sustainable strategy overcome these problems. Hence, pot experiment was conducted following completely randomized design explore impact fixing PSB on growth, yield, quality attributes soybean alongside soil nutrient availability using Rhizobium japonicum Pseudomonas striata. The consisted two factors—R. (100% N, R. alone or with 50% N control) P. striata P, 75% P control). Results revealed significant influence interaction seed protein, oil, nodules soybean. Microbial inoculants without produced statistically similar yield as 100% Furthermore, along increased 7% protein 19% oil than enhanced content improved availability. Overall, inoculation potentially improve conditions.
