Inorganic phosphorus fractions and crop productivity in response to different rates of phosphate-solubilising fungi Penicillium bilaii

Two field experiments were conducted at experimental farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2014-15 to investigate the interactive effect of three rates of seed inoculation with wettable formulation of phosphate solubilising fungi (Penicillium bilaii) and two rates (60...

description Two field experiments were conducted at experimental farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi during 2014-15 to investigate the interactive effect of three rates of seed inoculation with wettable formulation of phosphate solubilising fungi (Penicillium bilaii) and two rates (60 kg and 30 kg P2O5/ha) of chemical phosphorus (P) fertilization on soil P availability and productivity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and mustard (Brassica campestris L.) crops. Inorganic P distribution in different fractions was conducted by successive extraction of soil P with water, NaHCO3 (SB-P), NaOH (SH-P) and HCl. Application of fungal formulation @10.604 g/kg mustard seed and 4.894 g/kg wheat seed + 30 kg P2O5/ha as chemical P increased the SB-P fraction of mustard and wheat grown soil by 145.7% and 140.7%, respectively compared to their respective un-inoculated controls at maturity. HCl-P was the major fraction under wheat soil with average contribution of 46% and 64.8% of total extractable P at 60 and 120 d of crop growth whereas SH-P was the major fraction under mustard grown soil. Improved soil P availability due to fungal inoculation could explain the role of phosphate solubilising fungi in soil P mobilization. The crop productivity however, was highest with highest rate of chemical P and fungal based formulation.
