Abstract
Nine isolates of Trichoderma spp. were investigated for their ability to solubilize insoluble phosphate in Pikovskaya's broth and were compared with an efficient phosphate-solubilizing bacterium Bacillus megaterium subsp. phospaticum PB that was used as the reference strain. All 9 Trichoderma isolates were found to solubilize insoluble tricalcium phosphate to various extents. Trichoderma viride (TV 97) (9.03 microg x mL(-1)), Trichoderma virens (PDBCTVs 12) (9.0 microg x mL(-1)), and Trichoderma virens (PDBCTVs 13) (8.83 microg x mL(-1)) solubilized 70% of that solubilized by the reference strain Bacillus megaterium (12.43 microg x mL(-1)). Pot culture and field evaluations with Trichoderma harzianum (PDBCTH 10), Trichoderma viride (TV 97), and Trichoderma virens (PDBCTVs 12) using chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) 'Annegeri-1' as the test plant and rock phosphate as the phosphorus source showed significantly increased P uptake in plants treated with Trichoderma harzianum (PDBCTH 10) followed by Trichoderma virens (PDBCTVs 12) and Trichoderma viride (TV 97). Inoculation of Trichoderma spp. also showed increased growth and yield parameters of chickpea compared with the uninoculated controls under both glasshouse and field conditions.
