ABSTRACT- To investigate the effects of bio-chemical and organic fertilizers on yield and seeds NPK contents of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca), an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Kurdistan University in 2009 growing season. Treatments were included 1) control, 2) seeds inoculated with free-living N fixing bacteria (NFB), 3) seeds inoculated with phosphate-solubilizing b...

A field experiment was conducted during rainy seasons of 2007-2009 in India (Manipur) to study the effect of different sources and levels of phosphorus on productivity of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]. The treatments consisted of four sources of phosphorus [Single super phosphate (SSP), Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), Single super phosphate (SSP)+Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), Di-ammo...

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus megaterium and potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB) Bacillus mucilaginosus inoculated in nutrient limited soil planted with eggplant. Results showed that rock P and K materials either applied singly or in combination did not significantly enhance soil availability of P and K. PSB increased hi...

This paper examines the potential value of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria(PSB) in the dissolution of soil phosphorus and in the subsequent immobilization of lead (Pb), both in bacterial growth medium and in soil. In growth medium, Pseudomonas chlororaphis showed both phosphate-solubilizing and Pb-immobilizing capability, the immobilization of Pb was attributed to pyromorphite formation, as ind...

ABSTRACT-The enrichment of bedding for vermicomposting systems with organic and inorganic additives is a technique which can promote the quality of produced vermicompost. Phosphate rock and fishmeal are two available and low-cost substances which can be provided easily and inoculation of vermicompost with phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs) can enhance the availability...

In the present study, the feasibility to use phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to develop a biological leaching process of rare earth elements (REE) from monazite-bearing ore was determined. To predict the REE leaching capacity of bacteria, the phosphate solubilizing abilities of 10 species of PSB were determined by halo zone formation on Reyes minimal agar media supplemented with bromo cre...

an experiment was conducted at assossa agricultural research center (aarc) station during 2008 cropping season in order to study the effects of co-inoculation of bradyrhizobium japonicum (tal-378 and tal-379) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (psb) (pseudomonas spp.), and conventional farmers’ fertilizer level (combined and individual application of 46n kg ha-1 and 46 p2o5 kg ha-1) on nodulat...
