Abstract:

 Microbes play diverse roles in food security and agriculture through nutrient cycling (nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification), organic matter decomposition and fermentation. The use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), a group of beneficial soil microbes, have shown significant potential as a sustainable agricultural approach due to their ability to colonize plant roots. These bacteria provide nutrients, produce growth regulators and protect plants against infections. Among PGPR, the Pseudomonas genus is highlighted for its importance in crop growth and protection. This review is focused to describe cogent the roles and mechanics employed by PGPR, especially Pseudomonas, that assists plants to sustain healthy growth. Also, we underlined the Pseudomonas-based products that have been commercially developed by exploiting these PGPR mechanisms. Thus, it is suggested that Pseudomonas represents a group of bacteria with considerable potential in agriculture and environmental sustainability.
