Minor millets are drought-resistant crops, normally grown under rainfed conditions. Reducing the application of chemical fertilizers will reduce the cost of cultivation drastically. This study aimed to isolate and screening the novel microorganisms from the rhizosphere soil of the minor millets for supplementing the major plant nutrients. Totally 18 different isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere of minor millets. Out of which, 12 isolates were screened based on their performance. Among them, isolates D6, D5 and D1 were exhibited better performance in ARA activity (840±14.3p mol-1 mg-1 h), phosphorous solubilization (3.08 ± 0.005 cm2), and potassium solubilization (6.59 ± 0.027 cm2) respectively. The isolates D6, D5, and D1 were found to be promising in supplying the major nutrients to the crops and could be used for further research to develop suitable inoculants for millets.
