Abstract
A field experiment was conducted in 2024-25 to investigate the effect of different phosphorus levels (100%, 75%, & 50%) and microbial inoculants (un-inoculated control, phosphate solubilising bacteria, Glomus mossea and Glomus mossea +PSB) in maize crop. The study revealed that the maize grain yields were increased by 25% under 75% P + PSB + Glomus mossea which were significantly higher over control. The total P availability in soil varies from 8.30-20.2 kg/ha, the root colonization at 55 DAS and 75 DAS varied from (39.16-58.90 %) to (34.70-55.20%). The experiment was sustainable for suggesting good economic produce and without any adverse effect.
