Potassium solubilizing bacteria have been developed to create a better environment for potassium to be utilized by plants. Potassium is one of the major nutrients that is lost in soil due to acidic rainwater. This bacteria has been engineered to improve the solubility of potassium and make it more available to plants. It has been shown to improve potassium levels in the soil by up to 200%. Potassium solubilizing bacteria is engineered to improve the solubility of potassium and make it more available to plants.
K deficiency has been reported in most crop plants as a result of the majority of K in the soil being in a fixed form (not available to plants directly), imbalanced fertilizer use, significant increases in crop yield (depleting soil solution K), and the depletion of K in the soil system as a result of farmers not adding crop residue to the soil. It is vital to identify an alternative indigenous source of K and maintain K levels in soils for sustainable crop production due to the rising costs of K-fertilizers (potash costs $470 per tonne since 2011 and is on the rise annually).
K solubilizing bacteria (KSB), one of these microorganisms, has caught the interest of agriculturalists as a soil inoculum to boost plant development and output. Through solubilization, the KSB is effective at releasing K from inorganic and insoluble pools of total soil K. According to reports, KSB inoculation had a positive impact on the development of several plants.
