Rhizobacteria Species | Contributions towards Sustainable Agriculture | References |
---|---|---|
Azospirillum amazonense | Enhanced grain yield by increasing dry matter, panicle number and nitrogen content at maturation. | [118] |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Enhanced the remediation capacity of broad bean plants cultivated in soil environment containing oil contaminants. It also helps to control plant pathogens. | [4,119,120] |
Serratia liquefaciens | Enhanced the remediation capacity of broad bean plants cultivated in soil environment containing oil contaminants. | [2] |
Bradyrhizobium spp. | Improved nodulation in leguminous plants as well as shoot and root growth. They also enhance plants resistance to drought and production of indole-3-acetic acid | [2,116,117,121] |
Azospirillum spp. | Enhanced N content in Vicia sativa. | [122] |
Rhizobium spp. | Enhanced significantly the height, pod number and length as well as seed weight of Vigna mungo and Vigna radiate. | [123] |
Bacillus spp. | Help plants to develop resistance against pathogens and pest. | [4,120] |
Sinorhizobium meliloti | Improved biomass diversity in black madic plant that was subjected to copper stress. | [116,124] |
Rhizobium RL9 | Increased lentil plant development, nitrogen content, seed protein content and seed produced under heavy metal stressed environment. | [115] |
Rhizobium MRPI | Promoted nodule formation, leghaemoglobin concentration, seed protein and seed harvest in pea plant. | [125] |
