Performance of pineapple slips inoculated with diazotrophic phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and rock phosphate
Besides fixing N2, some diazotrophic bacteria or diazotrophs, also synthesize organic acids and are able to solubilize rock phosphates, increasing the availability of P for plants. The application of these bacteria to pineapple leaf axils in combination with rock phosphate could increase N and P ava...
