Abstract

The nutrient-binding abilities of six Actinobacteria strains native to tea ecosystems (designated AAS2, AAS7, APSA1, APSA4, APSA5, and CAS4) were investigated. Our findings demonstrated that all of the Actinobacterial strains examined exhibited strong solubilization abilities for both K and P.  They also take advantage of the naturally occurring potassium and phosphorus to further their plant growth. Through nursery experiments can be established organic carrier materials for formulating the isolates and used as biofertilizers in the tea ecosystem as compared to other strains and untreated controls, the values of biometric growth parameters were significantly higher to provide the efficacy of the bio-formulation
