Phosphate solubilizing rhizospheric bacterial communities of different crops of Korea District of Chhattisgarh, India
Occurrence of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) in the rhizospheric soil of different crops of Korea District of Chhattisgarh, India was studied. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria colonize the plant roots, affect plant growth positively and add nutrients to the soil. A good number of PSB were isolated, purified and identified from twenty-five different representative soil samples collected from five blocks of Korea...

Characterization of phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria isolated from lentil growing areas of Ethiopia
Lentil (Lens culnaris Medik.) is an invaluable source of dietary protein for the majority of Ethiopian population. The low availability of phosphorus is one of the major soil related stresses that limit the production of this crop. This study was aimed at isolation and characterization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria from lentil growing areas of Ethiopia and evaluating their effects on growth of this crop under...

The disposal of such foods also constitutes an economic loss in food production. This paper reports the findings of a study conducted during the 2013 minor maize farming season in Ejura-Sekyeredumase Municipality in the Ashanti...
