Abstract

The use of nanotechnology applications for the improvement of agriculture sectors is increasing day by day. Relative to conventional fertilizers, nano-fertilizers are promptly uptaken by plants and can enhance the plant's growth and development more efficiently. Thus, nanomaterials i.e. nanofibers, nano-fertilizers, and nano-pesticides can remarkably enhance the plants growth and yield production as well as disease resistance with limiting pathogenic attacks. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are deliberated as beneficial soil bacteria which can boost the plants growth attributes in both direct and indirect ways. These bacteria can restrict the harmful impacts of chemical fertilizers as well as toxic compounds released in the soil as a result of industrialization. The inoculation of PGPR can be proved as an efficient technique to enhance the productivity of the agriculture sector with an environmentally friendly approach. The combined application of nanomaterials and PGPR could be a promising way to maintain crop development and productivity. Additionally, various nanomaterials such as titanium, gold, zeolites, carbon, zinc, silver, silica, etc. with PGPR have an auspicious effect on plant development. This book chapter will explore the novel combined strategy of nanotechnology and PGPR to promote crop productivity.
