Phosphorus (P) is a limiting crop nutrient in most of the Pakistani soils and farmers have to add huge amounts of DAP fertilizer to overcome this problem. These chemical phosphorus fertilizers not only increase the cost of crop production, but also pollute the environment. Keeping in view the importance of low cost production of wheat with high yield using environmentally safe management approach, the present study was designed to isolate P solubilizing bacteria from wheat rhizosphere of different un-explored soils and find their optimal efficacy under different growth and environmental conditions. Additionally, the mechanisms and genes involved in P solubilization were explored. Less...
