An Inoculating Potential of Phosphate-Solubilising Microbes as Biofertlizers

Machiavelli and SM Paul Khurana

The microbial inoculants are playing important role in managing phosphorus as the major nutrients sustainability of agro-ecosystems. A broad canvas of biofertilizers that enhance nitrogen and specific tolegumes and non legumes along with inoculants that enhance phosphorus nutrition are discussed from severalperspectives. The mode of action of these microorganisms within and the transformation of nutrients is elucidated. In the Indian scenario, use of biofertilizers faces various constraints, such as longevity, etc., need to be overcometo achieve substantial fertilizer savings. One of the key issues that still remains is the method of formulation ofthese biofertilizers.
