“…Work by Glick and Chandra et al [40,41] showed that PGPB can alleviate the adverse effects of biotic stresses and abiotic stress to facilitate crop growth by producing ACC deaminase. Li [42] and Ejaz et al [43] found that PGPR have the potential to improve nutrient availability, the inoculation of nitrogen-fixing strains could increase the content of AN in the soil and promote the growth of crops [44]. These are consistent with our findings.…”

Soil salinity has become a serious threat to crop growth and productivity and has aggravated the gap between sustainable food supply and population growth. Application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has emerged as a novel way of alleviating the harmful effects of salt stress and improving soil nutrients. The aim of this study was to study the effects of exposure cucumber seedlings at one co-inoculation of Bacillus licheniformis and B. subtilis, a mitigation of salt stress in cucumber seedlings. In this study, we isolated salt tolerant (NX-3 and NX-4) and growth-promoting (NX-48, NX-59, and NX-62) bacteria from the rhizosphere of cucumber. NX-3 and NX-59 were identified as B. licheniformis, and NX-4, NX-48 and NX-62 were identified as B. subtilis. Under salt stress, relative to non-inoculation, co-inoculation with B. licheniformis and B. subtilis increased stem diameter and plant fresh weight. Moreover, the concentration of substrate available phosphorus increased (except for NX4-59). The catalase and sucrase activities of NX4-62 were the highest. Meanwhile, NX3-62 and NX3-59 had the highest phosphorus content and NX3-59 had the highest urease activities. Comprehensive analysis indicated that NX4-62 and NX3-59 showed the best effect on promoting cucumber seedlings growth, activating substrate nutrients, and alleviate salt stress in seedlings of cucumber.

“…The attention of contemporary research is mostly focused on the phosphorus uptake by the root system after the application of P-fertilizers in stepped doses to the soil. This application is used for the legumes growing both in a monoculture: pea [ 5 ], faba bean [ 6 ], chickpea [ 7 ], and mung bean [ 8 ], and in a mixed cultures [ 9 ]. Only a few literal sources evaluate the efficiency of the foliar P application on the seed production of legumes, and their quality [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Sufficient amounts of phosphorus taken by plants are also necessary for an optimal production yield. In the case of low P supplies in the soil or conditions decreasing its intake by plants, fertilization by phosphorus significant increases not only legume production, but also its quality [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. One of the phosphorus forms naturally presented in plants is phytic acid.…”

Phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient in plant nutrition. Its absorption by plants from the soil is influenced by many factors. Therefore, a foliar application of this nutrient could be utilized for the optimal nutrition state of plants. The premise of the study is that foliar application of phosphorus will increase the yield of normal-phytate (npa) cultivars (CDC Bronco a Cutlass) and low-phytate (lpa) lines (1-2347-144, 1-150-81) grown in soils with low phosphorus supply and affect seed quality depending on the ability of the pea to produce phytate. A graded application of phosphorus (H₃PO₄) in four doses: without P (P0), 27.3 mg P (P1), 54.5 mg P (P2), and 81.8 mg P/pot (P3) realized at the development stages of the 6th true leaf led to a significant increase of chlorophyll contents, and fluorescence parameters of chlorophyll expressing the CO2 assimilation velocity. The P fertilization increased the yield of seeds significantly, except the highest dose of phosphorus (P3) at which the yield of the npa cultivars was reduced. The line 1-2347-144 was the most sensible to the P application when the dose P3 increased the seed production by 42.1%. Only the lpa line 1-150-81 showed a decreased tendency in the phytate content at the stepped application of the P nutrition. Foliar application of phosphorus significantly increased ash material in seed, but did not tend to affect the protein and mineral content of seeds. Only the zinc content in seeds was significantly reduced by foliar application of P in npa and lpa pea genotypes. It is concluded from the present study that foliar phosphorus application could be an effective way to enhance the pea growth in P-deficient condition with a direct effect on seed yield and quality.

“…Prior to this research, for physico-chemical analysis, the soil samples of different properties were collected from the experimental trial site with a depth of 0–30 cm with sandy clay loam (58.2% sand, 30.1% silt, and 12.05% clay) texture possessing (pH = 7.89, EC = 1.27 dS/m) phosphorus 100 mg/kg, potassium 128.32 ppm, nitrogen 0.50%, and organic matter 0.62 (see Table 3 ). Three channels were prepared with the length of 12 m and a width of 27 m, while the main water channel was 1.5 m, subwater channel was 1.5 m, and subpath in each channel was 1.0 m. Sixteen samples were sown in each channel, namely, (T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , …, T 16 ) [ 38 , 39 ]. Due to annual rainfall of 300 mm, Faisalabad climatically falls in the semi-arid and subtropical category.…”

Globally, the availability of phosphorus (P) to crops remains limited in two-thirds of the soils, which makes it less accessible to plants and ultimately associated with low crop yields. The present study investigated the effect of phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSB; Pseudomonas spp.) for the improvement of phosphorus in mung bean (Vigna radiata) varieties and growth of net grain and biological yields. Results showed that inoculation of mung bean varieties with PSB at the rate of 100 g/kg seed significantly improved the root and shoot dry weight of about 1.13 and 12.66 g, root and shoot length of 14.49 and 50.63 cm, root and shoot phosphorus content of 2629.39 and 4138.91 mg/kg, a biological yield of 9844.41 kg/ha, number of pods of 17 per plant, number of grains of 9 per pod, grain yield of 882.23 kg/ha, and 1000-grain weight of 46.18 g after 60 days of observation. It was also observed that PSB-treated varieties of mung bean showed the maximum photosynthetic yield, photosynthetic active radiation, electron transport rate, and momentary fluorescent rate of 0.75, 364.32, 96.12, and 365.33 μmol/m2 s, respectively. The highest harvest index of 13.28% was recorded by P-treated mung beans. Results disclosed that inoculation of seeds of mung bean with PSB exhibited different effects in measured parameters. It is concluded that PSB possessed remarkable results in measured parameters compared to the control and highlighted that PSB could be an effective natural sustainable fertilizer for mung bean cultivation in sandy soil.
