ABSTRACT |
|
The evolution of life in all forms is
dependent on agriculture for food production and sustenance.
Microorganisms present in the soil such as plant growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) species are the family of rhizosphere bacteria
that can promote food crops production by several key mechanisms
such as phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, nitrogen
fixation, phytohormone, and yield of volatile organic compounds,
etc. The significance of PGPR in agriculture is gradually increasing
as a natural nourishment factor to reduce or replace the use of
chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Potential plant
growth-promoting constituents provided at a larger quantity by the
rhizosphere microorganisms are impacting the morphology of the
plants, indirectly. In this review, we are focusing on its role in
agriculture sustainability due to its high raise in global food
production with a specific goal to reduce the use of synthetic
chemical fertilizers and pesticides for health and environmental
safety. |
