ABSTRACT

Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are naturally soil-borne bacteria. These bacteria are useful as bio inoculant for increasing productivity of crops, grain quality, improve soil health and to conserve biodiversity. These bacteria are the group of bacteria, which are having ability to colonize roots of plants and helps them to increase their growth and the suppression of diseases by various mechanisms such as direct and indirect. They are also called as bio-fertilizers as they are useful to increase the productivity of plants. PGPRs have been functioning as interaction between plant and microorganisms as they both are helping each other. The interaction between plant and rhizobacteria is mutualism. Rhizobacteria are also use as biocontrol agents. Rhizobacteria, which are Resistance inducing and Antagonistic can be used as inoculants that would be useful for bio-control strategies to improve the cropping system.
