Sole application of VAM besides co-inoculation with PSB (Pseudomonas striata) and inorganic P stimulated mycorrhizal root colonization. Sole application of PSB, VAMT (Glomus intraradices), and VAMI (Glomus mosseae) as well as co-inoculation of VAM with PSB significantly improved crop productivity besides grain protein content, thus indicating a synergistic interaction between VAM and PSB. Application of VAMT or VAMI + PSB + 75% P2O5 remained at par with sole application of 100% P2O5 dose with regard to productivity, nutrient uptake, and soil fertility status (particularly P), thus indicating economization of fertilizer P to the tune of about 25% without compromising crop productivity and soil fertility in an acidic Alfisol.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Soil Science</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Fertilizer Applications</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2011</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>Taylor &amp; Francis</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mets:xmlData></mets:mdWrap></mets:dmdSec><mets:amdSec ID="TMD_eprint_5435"><mets:rightsMD ID="rights_eprint_5435_mods"><mets:mdWrap MDTYPE="MODS"><mets:xmlData><mods:useAndReproduction>
