AbstractPhosphorus availability is the major constraint for plant growth in the acid soil ecosystem, due to high fixation by Al and Fe. Microbial fertilizers such as phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can increase P availability in soils for root uptake. The objective of the research was to verify the ability of four isolates of PSB isolated from acid soil to solubilize unavailable inorganic phosphate, produce phosphatase, malic acid and indole acetic acid (IAA), as well as increase plant height of maize seedling. The bioassay by growing maize seedling in liquid nutrients has been performed to study the response of seedling to PSB inoculation. The experimental design of bioassay was a randomized block design with five replications. The results showed that the isolates RR 1 and SPR 4 had a relatively high solubilizing index. Moreover, all the PSB isolates had the ability to produce phosphatase and IAA and dissolve P. The performance of PSB-inoculated seedling was better visually and the root length was increased by 66.7–74.5% compared to the control. This result concludes that the species of four isolates needs to be identified by a biomolecular method and formulated as biofertilizers for increasing the maize productivity in the acid soil ecosystem.

One effort to increase the productivity of soybeans in Inceptisols Jatinangor is through utilize inoculant of soil microorganisms such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria in the form of specific biofertilizer (SB) for soybean plant without leaving inorganic fertilizer as a source of available nutrients to plants. This research aimed to determine fertilization management of N-P-K and specific biofertilizer in retaining N and P availability and yield of soybean. The Research was conducted from April to July 2016, arranged in Simple Randomized Block Design (RBD) and consisted of 10 treatments. The combination of biofertilizer and N-P-K were as follows; A = control (without fertilizer), B = Standard N-P-K, C = 0 N-P-K + 1 SB , D = 1/4 N-P-K + 1 SB, E = 1/2 N-P-K + 1 SB, F = 3/4 N-P-K + 1 SB, G = 1 N-P-K + 1 SB, H = 3/4 + 1/4 SB, I = 3/4 N-P-K + 1/2 SB dan J = 3/4 N-P-K + 3/4 SB. The results showed a dose of N-P-K and biofertilizer was recommended in the treatment E (250 kg ha-1 SB) and 1/2 N-P-K (37.5-50-50 kg ha-1). The dose was able to increase nitrogen and phosphor content in soil and plant, also on yield of soybean up to 0.4 t ha-1 or 32% of a standard N-P-K.

Ultisols has problems of low availability of nutrients, especially phosphorus. To improve soil phosphate and P fertilizer efficiency, it is necessary to develop biofertilizer such as phosphate solubilizing microbes. Phosphate solubilizing microbes (PSM) have the capability of dissolving soil phosphorus which have been adsorbed and can mineralize organic P to become inorganic P, hence increasing the avalibility of P in the soil. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas mallei and Pseudomonas cepacea) and phosphate solubilizing fungi (Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp) were selected based on their ability to dissolve P. The experiment was conducted at Jatinangor, West Java Indonesia to study the application of PSM biofertilizer to increase soil P and yield of maize. Experiment used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) in factorial pattern, consisting of two factors with three replications. The first factor consisted of PSM biofertilizer, which were; without PSM, 5 L ha-1 of PSM and 50 kg ha-1 of PSM.  The second factor was P fertilizer with five levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% dosage of recommendation). The results showed that the application of PSM biofertilizer increased soil phosphate and yield of maize on Ultisol Jatinangor.  The dosage of P inorganic fertilizers was reduced by 50%.Keywords: ultisol, maize, biofertillizer, phospate-solubilizing bacteria.

Fulfilment of nutrients for plants can be maximized when fertilization, but the application of inorganic fertilizers can cause damage to the soil if the dosage is excessive. The utilization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria is an effort to increase the efficiency of phosphate fertilization that can extract phosphate from an insoluble form that becomes available. This study aimed to obtain a combination of inorganic fertilization doses (SP-36 and NPK) and the application of biological fertilizers that utilize phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) to increase the population of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and P-available in the soil, as well as corn crop yields. This study used a randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications. The result showed that the application of PSB and inorganic phosphate fertilizer shows a significant effect on the population of PSB, P-available, plant height, stover dry weight, cob weight with husk and cob weight without husk, but didn’t show a significant effect on 100 seeds weight and number of plant leaves. Based on the correlation analysis, the results show a positive correlation between soil chemical properties, P-available, and corn yield.

Marginal soils have problems of low availability of nutrients, especially phosphorus. Phosphate solubilizing microbes can produce organic acid that dissolve P in the soil. Futhermore, the PSM also produce extracellular enzymes asa phosphatase that catalyze mineralization of organic P become inorganic P. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas mallei and Pseudomonas cepacea) and phosphate solubilizing fungi (Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp) is selected based on the ability of dissolving P and the production of growth regulators. Research at this stage aims to determine the biological fertilizer application techniques (PSB and PSF) as well as different types of P fertilizers to improve soil P available, growth and yield of maize. Field experiment on Ultisol Jatinangor implemented using a randomized block design (RBD) to test how applications PSM plus (giving 1, 2 and 3 applications) as well as the type of fertilizer P (SP-36 and rock phosphate). The results showed that the application of PSM can improve soil P-available growth and yield of maize. Application of PSM biological fertilizer could reduce the need for fertilizer P by 50%. PSM application once the application (early planting) with SP-36 dose 50% can increase content of soil P (P-available), and yield of maize on Ultisols.Keywords : maize, phosphate solubilizing microbes, Ultisols

ABSTRACTPhosphorus (P) is a nutrient that is needed by plants. The availability of this element is greatly influenced by soil pH. As for ultisol soils classified as acid soils, most of the P in the soil is not available and is bound to Fe and Al. Pseudomonas, a phosphate solubilizing bacteria are soil microbes that can improve the availability of P in acid soils. This study aims to obtain Pseudomonas indigenous, a phosphate solubilizing bacteria from the acid soil formerly used by rubber plantations in the Institut Teknologi Sumatera. The study was conducted from April to June 2018 which included soil chemical analysis, isolation of the genus Pseudomonads on specific media, testing of phosphate solubility on solid Pikovskaya medium and simple pathogenicity test on potato tubers. The results showed that the sample soil was acidic with a pH of 4.09 with a P-availability of 0.78 ppm. From the soil samples, four potential isolates were obtained from the genus Pseudomonas, namely GSP 01, GSP 13, GSP 15 and GSP 06, with phosphate solubility indexes of 0.885, 0.639, 0.619 and 0.568, respectively. Isolates have the best phosphate solubilizing index on days 4 through 7. The four potential isolates are not pathogenic, so they can be used as isolates to improve the availability of soil nutrients, especially phosphorus needed by plants.Keywords: acid soil, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, phosphate availability, PseudomonasABSTRAKFosfor (P) merupakan unsur hara yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh tanaman.

A field experiment was carried out at Horticulture Research Center of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology Meerut, (UP) India during rabi season 2018-19 and 2019-20 respectively with entitled “Effect of different sources of nutrients and mulching on sustainable production of Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.) cv. Pusa Ashwani”. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and eleven treatments. The results showed that plants treated with integrated application of inorganic fertilizer, Vermicompost, Azotobacter, PSB (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria), Black mulch (2.5 mm) proved significantly better over the recommended practice 100% RDF (Recommended doses of fertilizer) and control. However, plants treated without organic manures and inorganic fertilizers resulted in significant reduction for various growth, yield and quality parameters. Among the treatments, plants fortified with application of 50% RDF + 15 t/ha Vermicompost + Azotobacter (5 kg/ha) + PSB (5kg/ha) + Black mulch (2.5 mm) was found to better growth, yield and quality for both years.
