Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR)

Bacteria that colonize plant roots and advocate plant growth are indicate to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Many substances composed by antagonistic rhizobacteria have been associated with pathogen control and indirect promotion of growth in many plants, that are siderophores and antibiotics. Rhizobacteria are root-related bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with several plants. The name comes from the Greek rhiza, meaning root. Though parasitic categories of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually related to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both parties. However, in the long run, the use of chemical fertilizers had led to many certain problems, forcing scientists to explore other alternatives. Onemethod in this direction is the use of biofertilizers, better called as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
