Plant growth promoting efficiency of phosphate solubilizing chryseobacterium sp. PSR 10 with different doses of N and P fertilizers on lentil (Lens culinaris var. PL-5) growth and yield

Lentil is one of the important legume crop widely grown in India. The availability of low phosphorous in soil is one the major concern for the production of legume crop in the country. Thus, the present study was aimed to evaluate the plant growth promoting efficiency of phosphate solubilizing Chryseobacterium sp. PSR 10 with different doses of inorganic fertilizers (N and P) on lentil growth and yield under field conditions. The phosphate solubilizing potential of this bacterial strain through In vitro tricalcium phosphate solubilization in NBRI-BPB broth medium was 210.43µgml-1 .
