• Effect of immobilized phosphate solubilizing bacteria on wheat growth and phosphate uptake (2013, background): “However, the production of a halo on Pikovskaya agar plates should not be considered the sole test for P solubilization; an additional test in Pikovskaya liquid media to assay P dissolution should be performed (Bashan et al., 2012).”
• Isolation of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria from Maize Rhizosphere and Their Potential for Rock Phosphate Solubilization–Mineralization and Plant Growth Promotion (2017, background): “Recently, Bashan et al. (2013) stated that the commonly used selection criterion for P solubilization, tricalcium phosphate, is relatively weak and unreliable as a universal selection factor for isolating and testing PSB.”
• Phosphate solubilizing microbes: sustainable approach for managing phosphorus deficiency in agricultural soils (2013, background): “Adding calcium phosphate compounds (including rock phosphates) for alkaline soils, iron/ aluminium phosphate compounds for acidic soils, and phytates for soils rich in organic P is suggested Bashan et al. 2013a, b.”
• Plant Biostimulants: A Categorical Review, Their Implications for Row Crop Production, and Relation to Soil Health Indicators (2021, background): “Applications of three PSM strains were found to individually increase yield of wheat by 19–24%, while their co-inoculation resulted in a 33% yield increase when compared to an un-inoculated control [91].”
• A proposal for isolating and testing phosphate-solubilizing bacteria that enhance plant growth (2012, background): “Review of the literature and chemical considerations related to phosphate solubilization by microorganisms (Bashan et al. 2012) have shown that the commonly used selection factor for this trait, tricalcium phosphate (TCP), is relatively weak and unreliable as a universal selection factor for isolati”
