RD).The results revealed that PDB inoculation increased their population in soil and significantly increased the availability of P in calcareous soil whether applied alone or combined with added P forms compared without it, where the treatments of TSP at 75 and 100% RD combined with PDB gave the highest percentage (125.8, 136.4%) at the 50 days age and the lowest percentage (50.9, 53.3%) at harvest, respectively. The results indicated to increase macronutrients uptake by faba bean plants, which positively reflected on quantities and qualities of yields. It can be concluded that adding TSP at 75% RD combined with PDB inoculation is the recommended for improving the productivity of faba bean crop, while the means values of seed yield relatively increased about with 41.4% over the same treatment without PDB and about 34.2, 36.9% for PDB inoculation and TSP forms as individual effect respectively. It was noticed that the PDB-inoculated seeds increased phosphorus use efficiency (PUE), phosphorus agronomic efficiency (PAE) and phosphorus recovery efficiency (PRE) by about 33.04, 101.1 and 138.1%, respectively over the uninoculated. Triple superphosphate (TSP) has the greater efficiency whether it was alone or combined with PDB inoculation at 75% RD addition compared to other forms.
