Agronomical Aspects

Vegetables respond better than cereal crops to the application of phosphate­dissolving microorganisms. It was in USSR that a commercial preparation under the name 'phosphobacterin' containing bacterial cells of Bacillus megatherium was widely used for the first time. The usefulness of such bacterization of soils was rather overemphasised in spite of the fact that increase in grain yield was of the order of 5 to 10%.
