Acquisition of rock phosphate by combined application of ammonium fertilizers and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 in maize as affected by soil pH.

The study advanced existing knowledge on PGPM-assisted P solubilization as affected by different soil properties. The results suggest perspectives for management options to be considered for efficient use of PGPMs in terms of selecting application strategies with compatible PGPM-fertilizer combinations, depending on soil pH conditions.
