Description Globally the agricultural activities are having shrinkage in terms of area
and salinization of agricultural lands is one of the most serious
environmental problems. Nationally our land is affected by salinity and
alkalinity, and thus results in decreased production. Phosphorus being one of
the essential mineral nutrients limits the plant growth and is unavailable to
plants due to its low solubility and high fixation in the soil. Hence, this is
rectified with additional supply of as phosphatic fertilizers. However, major
portion of soluble inorganic phosphate in form of chemical fertilizer applied
to soil is immobilized rapidly and occurs in oxidised form as phosphates
bounded to aluminium, calcium or iron and becomes unavailable to plants.
Hence, the use of phosphorus-mobilizing bacteria can provide a solution to
the problem of limited phosphorus availability in salt-affected soils. The
application of phosphorus-mobilizing bacteria as biofertilizer can not only
improves the growth and quality of produce, but also drastically reduces the
usage of chemical fertilizers. Hence, phosphorus-mobilizing bacteria can be
used as environment friendly bio-fertilizers help to reduce the requirement of
phosphatic fertilizers
