Abstract


Bamboo is one of the important plant species for sustainability in both forestry and agriculture sector. Among bamboos, Dendrocalamus strictus is widely present in Indian sub-continent. Though bamboo having adventitious as well as shallow root system, it is one of the fastest growing plant species. This may be due to its dependency on several symbiotic soil microbes which may be in return providing nutrients and water for its fast growth. As Indian soil is deficient in available phosphorus, exploring the possibility of finding growth promoting bacteria, such as fluorescent pseudomonas from such niche is a matter of research. The study explored the rhizosphers of D. strictus growing in three geographical regions. The result concluded with finding fluorescent pseudomonas which efficient in P solubilising from P deficient soil of Chiriapur region. It seems that soil having moisture and nutrient stress environment allowed the rhizospheric bacteria to evolve to be efficient, especially P solubilisers, in relation to plant.
