Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria in Sustainable Agriculture: Present Status and Future Prospective

With the growing demand for crop production and the need to reduce synthetic chemical inputs, the use of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) presents a promising approach to sustainable agriculture. This book provides comprehensive insights into the mechanisms by which PGPR supports plant growth, including nutrient balance, growth regulator production, biocontrol of pathogens, and mineral nutrient solubilization. It also highlights commercially used PGPR strains and their applications in biocontrol and bioremediation. Additionally, the book discusses the constraints, limitations, and future prospects of PGPR, positioning it as a key strategy for improving agricultural sustainability in the face of modern challenges.
