Phosphorus uptake and growth promotion of chickpea by co-inoculation of mineral phosphate solubilising bacteria and a mixed rhizobial culture (2004, background): “This led to a better P-accumulating mechanism which, in turn, enhanced vegetative and reproductive growth and nutrient uptake (Chabot et al. 1996; Narula et al. 2000; Peix et al. 2001).”
Soil beneficial bacteria and their role in plant growth promotion: a review (2010, background): “The effectiveness of strains of Rhizobia used in inoculation of a soil should not be based only on their fixation potential, since these bacteria can also increase plant growth by means of other mechanisms including the phosphate solubilization (Peix et al. 2001).”
Influence of Microorganisms on Phosphorus Bioavailability in Soils (2005, background): “While most mineral nutrients in a soil solution are present in millimolar amounts, phosphorus is only available in micromolar quantities or less ( Ozanne 1980 ).”
Plant and microbial strategies to improve the phosphorus efficiency of agriculture (2011, background): “Opportunities also exist to develop novel ‘multifunctional’ microbial strains as inoculants, such as P- solubilising and N-fixing strains of Mesorhizobium mediterraneum (Peix et al. 2001) and disease biocontrol strains of Trichoderma harzianum with capacity to solubilise P (Altomare et al. 1999).”
