Verbatim
e0“inoculation of soils with P. bilaji along with RP at 45 mug of P per g of soil resulted in plant dry matter production and P uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) that were not significantly different from the increases in dry matter production and P uptake caused by the addition of 15 mug of P per g of soil as triple superphosphate.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect In the greenhouse, Penicillium bilaji plus rock phosphate raised bean dry matter and phosphorus uptake comparably to triple superphosphate.
- Intervention effect Rock phosphate alone did not affect plant growth.
- Observation Mycorrhizal fungi were needed for the maximum greenhouse effect in sterilized soil.
- Intervention effect In the field, rock phosphate, P. bilaji and straw gave wheat yield and phosphorus uptake equivalent to monoammonium phosphate.
- Intervention effect Rock phosphate alone did not affect field wheat growth or phosphorus uptake.
- Recommendation The authors concluded biological rock phosphate solubilization can increase phosphorus availability in calcareous soils.
