Abstract

To attain the sustained agriculture production, soil fertility, and its nutrient status should be optimal. Potassium is a crucial component of plant nutrition package that also limits crop quality and yield. Despite the sufficient level of K in soil, its deficiency is mainly because of inefficient utilization of different available forms by plants. The occurrence of potassium in complex mineral forms hinders its utility for plant growth. The plants have to face numerous deficiency symptoms due to unavailability of sufficient potassium required for their metabolism, which checks the productivity of crop. The potassium-solubilizing bacteria act as biofertilizers and can provide a sustainable solution to mineral deficiency in plants. Plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria can help in K solubilization in soil due to their versatile requirement for environmental and nutritional condition. The present study focused on overview on current trends, K-solubilizing mechanism and ability for growth promotion along with their present constraint and future scope to achieve sustainable agriculture production.
