The use of excess conventional Phosphorus (P) fertilizers to improve agricultural
productivity, in order to meet constantly increasing global food demand, potentially causes …

The societal cost of micronutrient deficiency (MND) or the “hidden hunger” is in millions of
dollars/year, reducing the GDP of some countries by as much as 11%. Zn is an important …

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid
(ACC) deaminase activity has the potential to promote plant growth and development under …

Zinc is an imperative micronutrient required for optimum plant growth. Zinc solubilizing
bacteria are potential alternatives for zinc supplementation and convert applied inorganic …

Phosphorus is the second important key element after nitrogen as a mineral nutrient in terms
of quantitative plant requirement. Although abundant in soils, in both organic and inorganic …

The aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and use phosphate solubilizing bacteria to
enhance the bioavailability of insoluble Ca-phosphate for wheat plants. For this purpose, 15 …

Abstract Zinc ions (Zn 2+) exhibit antimicrobial activity against various bacterial and fungal
strains. The partial dissolution of zinc oxide (ZnO) particles releases Zn 2+ ions in aqueous …

Bioaugmentation of Zn solubilizing rhizobacteria could be a sustainable intervention to
increase bioavailability of Zn in soil which can be helpful in mitigation of yield loss and …

Soil consists of diverse microscopic life forms such as actinomycetes, algae, bacteria, fungi,
nematodes, and protozoans. But, the rhizospheric region is the most widely colonized …

" Phytoremediation" know-how to do-how is rapidly expanding and is being commercialized
by harnessing the phyto-microbial diversity. This technology employs biodiversity to …
