Abstract

The objective of this research was to study the phosphate solubilizing and bacterial leaching when adding PSB biofertilizer (phosphate-solubilizing bacteria biofertilizer) in Pak Chong soil series and studying the effect of using PSB biofertilizer with chemical fertilizers for sugarcane cultivation. The study was divided into 2 experiments. The first experiment was the study of the effect of using PSB biofertilizer on the solubilization of phosphate in Pak Chong soil series by completely randomized design in 3 replications and 7 treatments with 7 different rate of PBS fertilizer applications (2-64 g/kg soil). Available phosphorus and bacteria number in the leaching water through the soil column were examined in the 90 day period. The results found that Pak Chong soil series with PSB biofertilizer at 64 g/kg soil had the highest available phosphorus in leaching water as 31.10 mg/l. Although continuous water washout, but also found that the amount of available phosphorus was high.  This indicated that the bacteria still had phosphate solubilizing activity and had survival in the soil. For second experiment, a complete randomized experiment were conducted to study of the effect of using PSB bio-fertilizer with chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components of Lampang cultivars sugarcane in pots as 9 treatments 3 replications. The results found that adding PSB biofertilizer together with use of chemical fertilizers according to soil analysis resulted in yield and yield components of sugarcane increased following by the increasing use of PSB biofertilizer. The maximum yield of sugarcane when using chemical fertilizer 15-7.5-15 kg/rai with PSB biofertilizer at the rate of 36 kg/rai was showed. Therefore, it is recommended to apply PSB biofertilizer in phosphates solubilizing for promoting the yield and yield components of sugarcane that is grown in a low amount of available phosphorus soil such as Pak Chong soil series.
