Alternative Technology of Phosphorus Supplying for Plant: Mycorrhiza Vesicular-Arbuscular (MVA) and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB)

Abstract

The degradation of soil fertility and the issue of healthy agriculture have attracted the attention of many parties today. The latest environmentally friendly technology continues to be developed but its prospects and effectiveness have not been disseminated massively. This study briefly summarizes some of the benefits and roles of soil fertility quality as an important biological agent in agriculture. This review is intended to provide an overview of the role and benefits of MVA and PSB for plant productivity. The role of MVA and PSB for soil and plants independently has been widely reported, especially as biological agents providing phosphorus nutrients. The synergistic role between the two biological agents is an interesting study considering the many benefits of its role for plants. PSB can provide phosphorus and depends on the carbon released by MVA obtained from plant photosynthesis. MVA extraradical hyphae were also used by PSB to reach further areas to reach insoluble P. PSB has the ability to synthesize important hormones that play a role in the development of MVA. Nevertheless, there is a need for research related to the sensitivity of the synergistic effect of the two biological agents on improving the quality of soil fertility quality.
