Acid soil can be used for land extensification, but need input technology in order its for maximum crop growth support. The aim of the reserach was to know the effect of Phosphate Solubizing Bacteria and Natural Phosphat Fertilizer on the production of Stringbean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.). A field trial at Universitas Padjadjaran research station 768 m above sea level had been carried out using randomized block design two factors with factorial pattern and three replications. The first factor was concentration of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (0 ml, 10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml), while the second factor was the type of natural phosphate fertilizer (120 g of guano polybag −1 , 120 g of rock phosphate polybag −1 and 120 g of swimmer crab flour polybag −1 ). The results showed there was no interaction effect of Phosphate Solubizing Bacteria and Natural Phosphate Fertilizer on harvest index. The type of natural phosphate fertilizer has an independent effect on leaf area and pod dry weight but the value is still below its potential production.
