Summary
In the present investigation, eight isolates of PSB were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of local weed plants from Senbagathoppu hills in Srivilliputtur, Tamilnadu, India. Among the eight phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains, only one bacterium was finally selected for further experimental analysis due to high amount of phosphate solubilizing capacity. The selected bacterial strain was indentified through biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The identified strain was inoculated in two crop plants to find out the growth and development of Agathi and Sebania. The plant growth parameters were analyzed from the two crop plants by the inoculation of potential strain isolated from weed plants. The estimation of reducing sugar, chlorophyll, auxin and proline were done in the PSB inoculated and control plantlets. The inoculation of PSB in Agathi (Sesbania grandiflora) and Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) proved the potential to increase plant height, numbers of tillers, root length and shoot length, amount of chlorophyll content, amount of IAA and proline.
