Abstract
Disposal of significant tonnages of rice straw is expensive, but using it to mobilise phosphorus (P) from inorganically fixed pools in the soil may add value. This study was carried out to determine whether the use of rice straw mixed with phosphorus-solubilizing microbes could solubilize a sizable portion fixed soil P and affect P transformation, silicon (Si) concentration, organic acid concentrations, and enzyme activity to increase plant growth. Depending on the soil temperature, the application of rice straw at 12 Mg ha−1 with phosphorus-solubilizing microbes could solubilize 3.4–3.6% of inorganic P, and minimised the hysteresis impact by 6–8%. At plant maturity, application of rice straw at 12 Mg ha−1 with phosphorus-solubilizing microbes and 75% of recommended P application raised the activity of dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase activity, cellulase, and peroxidase by 77, 65, 87, and 82% in soil, respectively. It also boosted Si concentration in the soil by 58%. Wheat grain yield was 40% and 18% higher under rice straw at 12 Mg ha−1 with phosphorus-solubilizing microbes with 75% of recommended P application than under no and 100% P application, respectively. Rice grain yield also increased significantly with the same treatment. Additionally, it increased root volume, length, and P uptake by 2.38, 1.74 and 1.62-times above control for wheat and 1.98, 1.67, and 2.06-times above control for rice, respectively. According to path analysis, P solubilisation by Si and organic acids considerably increased (18–32%) P availability in the rhizosphere. Therefore, cultivators could be advised to use rice straw at 12 Mg ha−1 with phosphorus-solubilizing microbes with 75% P of mineral P fertiliser to save 25% P fertiliser without reducing wheat and rice yield.
