Abstract
The present study mainly focus on the isolation of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) and its effect on the growth of Abelmoschus esculentus Linn. under normal and saline conditions. The results of the present study reveals that, seeds of A. esculentus L. which are treated with PSB shows high percentage of germination and growth than untreated seeds. Moreover the length of shoot and root, fresh and dry weight of the plants, total chlorophyll and protein contents were also observed as high level when compared to control (untreated with PSB).
