Abstract


The current investigation was focused to enumerate seasonal population of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and to examine colonization of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi associated with rubber trees from the plantations of Tripura, India. The study also aims to identify AM fungi and characterize PSB from the rhizosphere of rubber trees. The results indicated that AM fungal colonization and PSB population were higher during monsoon and significantly lower in winter. Significant correlation was observed between populations of PSB and AM fungal colonization. Phosphate solubilization index of PSB isolates was significantly exhibited highest by Bacillus tequilensis. Twenty seven AM morphotypes and five isolates of PSB were identified. The higher number of species recovered from the genus having the order Glomus > Rhizophagus > Claroideoglomus =Sclerocystis > Acaulospora = Funneliformis > Ambispora = Diversispora = Dentiscutata = Gigaspora = Redekera = Septoglomus. The results indicated that the rubber plantations harbour robust composition of both the soil microflora.
