Role of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria in Enhancing Nutrient Use Efficiency!

Phosphorus plays an important role in growing a healthy plant with a strong root, transferring energy for healthy production and overall development. However, different soils contain phosphorus in a form that plants cannot absorb effectively. The role of phosphate soluble bacteria (PSB) becomes imperative as it helps the plants to convert this unavailable phosphorus into a usable form and naturally promote plant cultivation. With the increasing environmental challenges of heat stress, soil salinity & climate change, phosphate solubilizing method can play an important role in enhancing the nutrient use efficiency along with improving the soil health.

Top Benefits of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB)

India requires around 10 – 11 million metric tons of DAP [Diammonium Phosphate], one of the key phosphates supplying fertilizer for agricultural needs. Added to this are other sources of phosphates like SSP [Single super phosphate] & NPK grades, making it one of the biggest fertilizer producers & consumer in the world. The rely heavily on the conventional phosphates fertilizers without realizing the fact most of the phosphates being added in the soil gets locked & is not available to the plants. In India, the phosphates get locked in the soil with calcium, Iron & Aluminum making it ineffective & proving costly to the farmers.

BioPrime’s PSB is the viable solution

1.       Wide range of solubilization properties

Most commercially available PSB products unlock only phosphates locked with calcium, accounting for only 8-12% of Indian farmlands. BioPrime’s PSB has the unique property to unlock phosphates locked with aluminum & iron, accounting for nearly 52% of the farms.

2.       Cost benefit to farmers

The right application of BioPrime’s PSB supports farmers in managing fertilizer budget by enhancing the use efficiency of the phosphate fertilizers. Farmers can avoid over application of expensive phosphate fertilizers with ease. In subsequent cropping seasons, higher use efficiency has the potential to reduce fertilizer application too.

3.       Improvement in soil health

The PSB biofertilizer releases helpful microorganisms (high-performance Pseudomonas strains) making the soil structure conducive & environmentally friendly. It enhances carbon fixation, increasing its availability to the plants. Additionally, it improves soil fertility, increases fibrous roots & assures uncompromised yield & quality.
