Original title: Role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria in Agricultural Sustainability—A Review
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteriaBacteria that live in the soil around plant roots. are bacteria that help plants grow near their roots. They can help plants take up nutrients, affect growth-related hormones, or help defend against plant diseases. They also interact with other microbes in soil, which can influence plant growth. This review links these effects to the bacteria’s use as biofertilizers and discusses nano-encapsulationA way of enclosing a substance in extremely small protective packages. as a way to improve their effectiveness.
Imagine making dinner with ingredients that are hard to get out of their jars. You also need to keep the meal safe from something that could spoil it. In this paper, the helpful bacteria are like kitchen helpers: they make nutrients easier for plants to use and can help protect them from disease, while small protective packages may improve how well those helpers work as fertilizer.
Farmers face pressure to grow more crops while using fewer synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The review explains how beneficial bacteria can support plant growth, and why understanding how they work matters for using them effectively as biofertilizers.
The abstract describes a review and does not report specific experiments, measured crop-yield changes, or comparisons between bacteria or encapsulation methods. It does not establish how effective PGPR or nano-encapsulation is across particular crops, soils, or farming conditions.
