The main aim of this research was to study the dynamics of K release from waste mica inoculated with potassium solubilizing microorganism (Bacillus mucilaginosus) and to investigate its effectiveness as potassic-fertilizer using sudan grass (Sorghum vulgare Pers.) var Sudanensis as test crop grown under two Alfisols. Results revealed that application of mica significantly enhanced biomass yield, uptake and per cent K recoveries by sudan grass than control (no-K). Biomass yield, uptake and per cent K recoveries increased further when mica was inoculated with bacterial strain in both the soils than uninoculated mica. Alfisol from Hazaribag recorded higher yield, uptake and K recoveries than Alfisol from Bhubaneswar. The dynamics of K in soils indicated that K was released from mica to water-soluble and exchangeable pools of K due to inoculation of mica with Bacillus mucilaginosus in both the soils. Significantly greater amounts of water-soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable K were maintained in Alfisol from Hazaribag than Bhubaneswar. Release kinetics of K showed significant release of K from mica treated with bacterial strain. Significant correlation between biomass yield, K uptake by sudan grass and different pools of K in soils were observed. X-ray diffraction analysis indicates greater dissolution of mica due to inoculation of Bacillus mucilaginosus strain in both the soils. Thus, bio-intervention of waste mica could be an alternative and viable technology to solubilize insoluble K into plant available pool and used efficiently as a source of K-fertilizer for sustaining crop production and maintaining soil potassium.
