“…They help in fixing atmospheric nitrogen, provide nutritional uptake by solubilizing phosphate and producing biologically active molecules which influence plant growth (Arshad and Frankenberger, 1992).Studies has shown that for PGPR to be utilized in crop production, it must be able to exert it effects in either one of these three ways; firstby providing the plant with growth-promoting compounds (Glick 1995), secondly by uptake of certain essential nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, calcium and magnesium, (Bashan and Levanony 1990;Belimov and Dietz 2000;Cakmakci et al 2006) and thirdly by averting plants diseases (Khan et al 2002;.The demonstration of increased growth and productivity of many commercial crops including maize (Sandhya et al, 2010), rice (Ashrafuzzaman et al, 2009), black pepper (Dastager et al, 2010), wheat (Cakmakcı et al, 2007), sugarcane (Sundara et al, 2002), cotton (Anjum et al, 2007), Banana (Mia et al, 2010), and cucumber (Maleki et al, 2010) and those seen in Tables 2 has given credit to this biotechnology. There has been public call for possible exploitation of their role in biofertilizers production, microbial rhizoremediation and biopesticides synthesis (Adesemoye et al, 2008).…”
