摘要:The constant use of synthetic fertilizers in agriculture has lead to adverse environmental problems besidesthe increasing cost of production. Field experiments to enhance the available phosphorus, soil fertility and plant growthpromotion have not been studied with vegetable crops. The impact of replacing super phosphate with tricalciumphosphate in the presence of phosphate solubilizing bacteria on the growth of bhendi plant was studied. Bacillusspecies isolated from the rhizosphere soil found to be good in releasing phosphate from tricalcium phosphate.Application of super phosphate and tricalcium phosphate at 1:3 ratios along with phosphate solubilising bacteriaportrayed increase in the soil and leaf NPK, chlorophyll content, plant height, weight, number of leaves, acidic pH ofsoil and phosphatase activity which are discussed.
