Tomato Production under Synergistic Application of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria and Phosphate Amendments

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria have multi-dimensional benefits in broad host range interaction, accessing nutrients, phytohormone induction, stress alleviation, biocontrol activity, and eco-friend approach. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of PSB isolates coinoculated with compost, bone meal, DAP fertilizer on tomato growth response. Tomato seeds were treated 10 selected separately grown for 20 days seedbed, then transplanted field that was external P-sources enriched by inoculum. showed positive interaction achieved significant plant assays including height, leaves, branches, flowers, fruit development. Isolate K-10-41 significantly promoted floral development, yield, Mk-20-7 enhanced height weight whereas K-10-27 induced numbers. Compost application tomato-PSB vegetative meal least promotor most assays. Bone however, one top development inducers (harvested 20.94 fruits/plant weighing 881.97 gm). Mixing 50% recommended compost yield (21 harvested weighed 872.46 Based overwhelming performance, together mixture found effective. Therefore, results this imply competent nutrient supplements improved symbiotic effectiveness, sustainable production, environmental health. Consequently, these promising would be production higher sustainability after verifying their at different agroecology taxonomic identification. Screening potential strains evaluating competence under conditions future perspectives develop efficient inoculants. Moreover, synergetic organic (compost, farmyard, or other biowastes), bioinoculants, proper agrochemicals maximize health is feasible economic, social, ecological sense balance.
