Abstract:
All living organisms directly or indirectly depend upon the agricultural industry and this imparts
too much pressure on food availability and security. To meet this increasing demand of food,
agricultural sector has been shifted from organic products to chemical products resulting in
severe damage to ecosystem, contaminated ground water, eutrophication in water bodies,
unhealthy soils and air pollution. Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs) has
been increasing because of its potential in sustainable cultivation and production. These bacterias
colonize in and on the roots of host plant and significantly enhance the plant growth and
development, helps in avoiding biotic and abiotic stresses, suppression of diseases by pests,
production of siderophores, volatile organic compounds and plant growth regulators by
stimulating various mechanisms even at very low concentrations. Many bacterial strains have
been mentioned in this review for their involvement in different crops and their adoption of
mechanisms for significantly affecting various vegetative and floral parameters. Therefore,
inoculation of PGPRs can be considered as eco-friendly practice and can be extensively used as
biofertilizer.
