<title><b>Study of phosphate solubilizing microorganisms with biofertilizer potential</b></title>
<abstract>Most of the essential plant nutrients stay as insoluble form in soil. The Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms are capable to solubilize inorganic phosphorus from insoluble compounds. A total of 24 phosphate solubilizing microbial colonies were isolated on Pikovskaya's agar medium containing insoluble tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) from rhizospheric soil. Out of 24 microbial isolates, 10 isolates showed highest Phosphate Solubilization Index (PSI) ranged from 2.25-3.80 were selected for further study. Among these 10 potent isolates, one strain (F2) showed highest phosphatase enzyme activity was 1.95µg/min/ml at day 5. The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of microbial biofertilizer on  lessThan i greaterThan Vigna radiata  lessThan /i greaterThan (mung) plant and the highest plant growth promotion was recorded when seeds were treated with bacteria, yeast and fungi (T3).</abstract>
