Abstract

Phosphorous is a key essential element for overall plant life cycles and today its availability in the soil is a great challenge due to quick fixation in different soil types. Today the only solution on the hands of farmers is using chemical fertilizer. However, synthetic fertilizer have numerous negative impacts on environment, soil fertility depletion, human healthy and the microbial diversity and ecology. Using microorganisms as bio-fertilizers would be the viable complementary option for the livelihood of farmers and the environment. Those microbes speed up the microbial process immediately after directly added to soil or through seed treating as bio fertilizer and growing their population. This process facilitates the nutrient uptake of plant which is available for the targeted objectives. Groups of bacteria such as <i>Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Rhizobium </i>and <i>Enterobacter </i>etc. are the main phosphate solubilizing microbes through production of organic acid production and known as bio-fertilizer for cereal crops. However, still there are little awareness and huge knowledge gap on the importance of those microbes on their contribution for agricultural inputs. This review articles therefore summarizes the different mechanisms on how phosphate solubilizing bacteria make available inert phosphorous and information related with phosphate solubilizing bacteria.
