Role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria in Reclamation of Wasteland

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Biotechnology

Abstract

In recent decades, wasteland reclamation becoming a major concern all over the world to accommodate the increasing need of space for living and development. There are many approaches to reclaim the degraded land, but these approaches confronts many limitations. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) contributing the growth and establishment of plant under different environmental conditions. PGPR assist the plant development directly by one or the other mechanism such as helping in nutrients acquisition (N, P and Fe) and modifying phytohormones and enzyme activity, or indirectly inhibiting or reducing the pathogens. In this book chapter, we have highlighted the role of PGPR in accelerating the plant growth in different environmental condition, discussed the mechanisms of PGPR in detail and its application and constrains.
