Abstract

Rhizospheric niches of healthy plants play an important role in the maintenance of health and
growth of plant either by providing valuable nutrients or protecting plant from soil borne pathogens.
The aim of present study was to use the rhizospheric niches of healthy plants to isolate efficient
phosphate solubilizing bacteria. The soil samples from rhizospheric niches of Neem, Soya bean,
Bavanchya and Tur were collected from different fields in the sterile polythene bags and brought to the
laboratory. All the rhizospheric soil samples were tested for phosphate solubilizing bacteria on
Pikovskaya agar by serial dilution method. Among the rhizospheric soil samples screened, rhizospheric
