Rock Phosphate Solubilizing Potential of Soil Microorganisms: Advances in Sustainable Crop Production

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most important elements required for crop production. The ideal soil pH its absorption by plants about 6.5, but in alkaline and acidic soils, consumed P forms an insoluble complex with calcium, iron, aluminum availability plant decreases. supply needed mainly achieved through chemical fertilizers; however, addition to high price these fertilizers, long run, their destructive effects will affect environment. use cheap abundant resources such as rock phosphate (RP) can be alternative strategy solubilization this source has been a challenge agricultural researchers. For this, physical treatments have used, solution that recently attracted attention researchers potential rhizobacteria solubilize RP method. These microorganisms, via. mechanisms proton secretion, organic mineral acid production, siderophore etc., lead RP, releasing P, they improve quantitative qualitative performance products. In review, addressing rhizosphere microbes (with focus on rhizobacteria) eco-friendly solubilization, along solutions, attempted.
