Bacterial feeder Nematodes: Facilitator or competitor for Plant Phosphorus in soil

Abstract: Rock phosphate is the main constituent of soil in lower Himalayan region of Pakistan but less accessible to plants. Although a lot of work has been done on the role of phosphate solubilizing bacteria for phosphorus availability from insoluble tricalcium phosphate (TCP), no significant succ...
