Abstract
AbstractThe increased and non-judicious use of pesticides and fertilizers has associated complications on the human, animal and plant health. They may accumulate in water and soil to reduce diversification of croplands, limit nutrients availability and diminish genetic diversity of the associated microbes, flora and fauna. Chemical pesticides and fertilizers are also known to impart global warming, insect, animal and human genetic disorders and diseases. Plant probiotics, thereby enhancing plant health, growth and production, not only reduce/minimize the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers but also are helpful reclaiming the soil beneficial for all living organisms. However, there are certain shortcomings and challenges associated with the use of plant probiotics. This chapter circumvents the studies covering, in general, the origin, classification, mechanism of action, and in specific, the perspectives and challenges using plant probiotics.KeywordsBiofertilizerPhytohormonePlant growth promoting rhizobacteriaRhizobiomeSiderophores
