Abstract

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria enhanced the plant performance and benefits the plant by various mechanisms. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria is environmental friendly bio fertilizer. In present study influence of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria was investigated on growth of Brassica campestris under drought stress. Drought was given at three different stages, with and without Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria. The PSB was applied to seeds surfaces before sowing in the pots. Drought duration remained for 14 to 21 days. PSB inoculation increased different parameters i.e. number of pods per plant & grains number and weight. So it is concluded that phosphate soluble bacteria should be applied to the seed for better seed production of mustard under water stress condition.
