The soil microbiome is the key player regulating phosphorus cycling processes. Identifying phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and utilizing them for release of recalcitrant phosphate that is bound to rocks or minerals have implications for improving crop nutrient acquisition and crop productivity.

Functional microbes of rhizosphere play important roles in nutrient transformation and controlling disease as well as in supporting plant growth and development. However, there is no study on the role of functional microbes on pineapple productivity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the abundance and diversity of soil functional microbes at different growth phases at two levels of productivity and their correlations to disease incidence. The research process included sampling of pineapple rhizospheric soil from vegetative and generative phases pineapples at low and high plant productivity sites, observations of disease incidence, and isolations of functional microbes. Functional groups of bacteria were Azotobacter, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, potassium-solubilizing bacteria, antibiotics-producing bacteria, IAA-producing bacteria, and chitinolytic bacteria. The soil sampling method was simple randomized sampling at 6 locations with an area of each location ± 5 ha with a depth of 20 cm. Rhizosphere were taken in plants grown in high productivity area (>60tons/ha) and low productivity area (<60 tons/ha) in vegetative and generative phases. The results showed that potassium-solubilizing bacteria, chitinolytic bacteria, and IAA-producing bacteria were more abundant during the generative phase compared to those during vegetative phase. While Azotobacter, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, and antibiotic-producing bacteria were more predominant during vegetative phase at various crop productivy. Total density of microbes was higher in soil with high crop productivity than that in soil with low crop productivity. The abundance of chitinolytic bacteria and IAA-producing bacteria had negative correlation with disease caused by Erwinia chrysanthemi and Phytophthora cinnamomi. Keywords: chitinolytic bacteria, growth phase, IAA, pineapple disease

Mycorrhizal fungi with different nutrient acquisition strategies influence the functional separation among plant species. This might drive resource competition dynamics that cumulatively impact tree species coexistence, but few manipulative experiments have directly tested this. Combining surveys and experiments in a modern coexistence theory framework, we tested how variation in mycorrhizal strategies and nutrient conditions affect competitive outcomes between co-occurring ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) tree species. The dependency on EM symbioses increased with latitude and nitrogen (N) limitation, matching global trends. Host-specific soil microbiome conditioning and N fertilization combined to qualitatively affect coexistence outcomes. Lower N conditions favored EM over AM trees, but N fertilization reversed this outcome for southern species, consistent with regional-scale forest mycorrhizal transitions. As the magnitude and outcome of microbially-mediated competition depends on mycorrhizal differentiation and soil nutrient availability, this strongly supports the importance of mycorrhizal symbioses in driving large-scale biogeographic patterns of tree species.

On average less than 1% of the total phosphorous present in soils is available to plants, making phosphorous one of the most limiting macronutrients for crop productivity worldwide. The aim of this work was to isolate and select phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from the barley rhizosphere, which has other growth promoting traits and can increase crop productivity. A total of 104 different bacterial isolates were extracted from the barley plant rhizosphere. In this case, 64 strains were able to solubilize phosphate in agar plates. The 24 strains exhibiting the highest solubilizing index belonged to 16 different species, of which 7 isolates were discarded since they were identified as putative phytopathogens. The remaining nine strains were tested for their ability to solubilize phosphate in liquid medium and in pot trials performed in a greenhouse. Several of the isolated strains (Advenella mimigardefordensis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus megaterium and Burkholderia fungorum) were able to significantly improve levels of assimilated phosphate, dry weight of ears and total starch accumulated on ears compared to non-inoculated plants. Since these strains were able to increase the growth and productivity of barley crops, they could be potentially used as microbial inoculants (biofertilizers).

Abstract Cotton crop, plays a significant role in Pakistan’s economy by ruling a prominent place in edible oil and local textile industry. Phosphorus (P) inaccessibility and deficiency of soil organic matter are the key restraints for low crop productivity in cotton. Therefore, a two years field study was designed during 2014-15, to explore the influence of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM) and inanimate sources of P on various physiological, growth, yield and quality parameters of cotton crop at CCRI Multan. Field responses of seeds inoculated with two distinctive phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) strains viz. S0 = control, S1 =strain-1, S2 = strain-2 and eight organic, inorganic P sources viz., P0= control, P1 = 80 kg ha-1 P from inorganic source, P2 = 80 kg ha-1 P from FYM, P3 = 80 kg ha-1 P from PM, P4 = 40 kg ha-1 P from FYM + 40 kg ha-1 P from inorganic source, P5 = 40 kg ha-1 P from PM + 40 kg ha-1 P from inorganic source, P6 = 80 kg ha-1 P from FYM + 40 kg ha-1 P from inorganic source, P7 = 80 kg ha-1 P from PM + 40 kg ha-1 P from inorganic source and P8 = 40 kg ha-1 P from FYM + 40 kg ha-1 P from PM were evaluated. Results revealed that inoculation of seeds with PSB and collective use of inorganic and organic sources of P had considerably increased the yield contributing attributes in cotton. However, the treatment P7 (80 kg P ha-1 from PM + 40 kg P ha-1 from inorganic source) in coincidence with seeds inoculated with PSB (S1) produced taller plant, maximum boll weight, significantly higher LAI and CGR. Significantly higher seed cotton yield, lint yield, fiber length and maximum BCR of 1.95 and 1.81 was also obtained from the P7 treatment during both crop-growing seasons. In conclusion, combined use of 80 kg P ha-1 from PM + 40 kg P ha-1 from inorganic source and cotton seeds inoculated with strain-1 improved phosphorus uptake ensuing in greater consumption of photo-assimilates for maximum growth and yield.

Phosphorus (P) plays a vital role in many aspects of plant growth and development. The low amount of available P in agricultural soils reduces crop productivity and phosphate fertilizers are often applied. However, due to the high affinity of P for the soil constituents, the availability of this element becomes limited to plants. Thus, alternative, ecological, and low-cost techniques have been studied to improve P acquisition by crops. Microorganisms able to solubilize P, mainly phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have stood out, since they offer an approach to overcome P scarcity by their introduction in agricultural systems via inoculants. In this paper, we showed the potential of P-solubilizing microorganisms and their mechanisms of action, the potential of different inoculation vehicles, also highlighting the biochar as a viable biological product for production of inoculants. The combined effects of these factors (PSB and biochar) add several benefits to the soil-plant system. Results from this review demonstrate that biochar amendments have great potential as a vehicle for inoculation of PSB. However, studies of biochar combined with PSB is still incipient. Future research should focus efforts on exploring highly efficient strains, optimizing conditions, and assessing several sources of waste for production of biochar and their efficiency in field experiments.
