%X The soil in the identified saline was investigated for the study of phosphate solublization by fungi andbacteria. In the present study 107 samples were collected from saline affected area, among these samples, 33(30.80%) samples showed the ability to solubilize the inorganic insoluble phosphate. From the study it was observedthat the fungi viz; Aspergillius spp., Penicillium spp. and Fusarium spp. have the more solubilizing ability of inorganicinsoluble phosphate than bacteria, viz; B.subtilis, and B.megatherium. Hence the application of biofertilizer prepared byabove mentioned fungi should be helpful to reduce the salinity of soil by neutralization phenomenon, because thesemicroorganisms release the acid in very minute quantity in phosphate Solubilization
