Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deficiency in soils limit plant growth. Consequently, chemical fertilizers are applied to fulfill crop nutrient demands. However, low nutrient utilization can make these fertilizers unprofitable for low-income smallholding farmers. Therefore, we studied the influence of  Bradyrhizobium  sp. and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria ( Pseudomonas ) on N and P utilization by mungbean crop from fertilized nutrient-deficient soil. We inoculated novel  Bradyrhizobium  sp. TAL-377 and  Pseudomonas  sp. 54RB strains alone or their combination with seeds of mungbean varieties (C-MUNG, NM-06, and NM-11). A basal dose of chemical fertilizers was applied at the rate of 60 kg N and 90 kg P ha −1  in the form of urea and single super phosphate in all plots before crop sowing. All inocula increased soil mineral N and P compared to control ( P  &lt; 0.05). Co-inoculation increased mineral N by 30%, 18%, and 18% than  Bradyrhizobium  sp. alone and increase in P was 22, 29 and 43% than  Pseudomonas  sp. in C-MUNG, NM-06, and NM-11, respectively. This resulted in 35%, 45%, and 36% higher shoot N uptakes than  Bradyrhizobium  sp., and 46%, 84%, and 62% higher shoot P uptake than  Pseudomonas  sp. in the varieties. Similarly, root nodulation, mungbean grains, and biological yields were higher in co-inoculation treatments than single strain ( p  &lt; .05). Hence, co-inoculation of  Bradyrhizobium  sp. and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria ( Pseudomonas  sp.) is a vital strategy to increase mungbean growth, yield, N and P utilization from chemical fertilizers applied in nutrient-deficient soils.

Field co-inoculation of Bradyrhizobium sp. and Pseudomonas increases nutrients uptake of Vigna radiata L. from fertilized soil
