Description

This book delves into the role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in sustainable agriculture, providing an in-depth exploration of how PGPR enhances crop production while reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. It covers the various mechanisms through which PGPR promotes plant growth, including nutrient regulation, production of growth regulators, biocontrol of pathogens, and mineral solubilization. The book also discusses commercially exploited PGPR strains such as Bacillus subtilis, B. amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and their use in biocontrol and bioremediation. It further addresses the challenges and future potential of PGPR in advancing agricultural sustainability.

Abstract

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.
