A Correlational Analysis of the Phosphate Solubilising Bacteriathe Growth Rate of Lady Rosetta Potato

Abstract

Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) contribute to healthy plant growth, improved yield, and phosphorus utilization in several crops and are potentially useful as a bioinoculant for enhancing sustainable production. The objective of this study is to examine the response of Lady rosetta potatoes to Acinetobacter rudis inoculation as PSB under controlled and field conditions in Kotda chakar village, Ta. Bhuj, Dist. Kutchh, State- Gujarat, India. Plant growth and the productivity of Lady Rosetta potatoes, laboratory isolations, and culture experiments were conducted. The potato tubers were harvested 90 days post-inoculation. The results indicated that there is a significant (p < 0.05) increase in germination plant species compared to the control plots. Acinetobacter rudis has an equal impact on the weight and size of potato tubers, as well as the height and growth of Lady Rosetta potatoes. The control plots showed poor germination and stunted growth of the potato tubers and plants. An increase in P contents was observed following Acinetobacter rudis inoculation, which resulted in an overall increase in plant height, size, and weight of potato tubers. The study concluded that Acinetobacter rudis has enormous potential to be applied as an alternative to PSB for environmental reasons.

Efficacy of Acinetobacter rudis as Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) on potato growth and nutrient availability

“…In the previous investigation, Acinetobacter rudis-S23 was isolated from the Kutch mangrove rhizopshere and its phosphate solubilizing activity was analyzed (11) . Phosphorus-Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) were cultured in a nutrient medium at 35 • C with agitation for 24 hours.…”
