Salt-Adapted Plant Growth Promoting Rhizo-bacteria (SA-PGPR): A systemic approach towards mitigation of salinity

Salinity stress is considered as one of the main challenges against agriculture farming and food sustainably. It poses a significant threat to global agricultural productivity, affecting vast expanses of arable land. Conventional methods of salt mitigation often fall short in providing sustainable solutions, necessitating innovative approaches for enhanced crop resilience. Application of eco-friendly potential salt tolerant bacteria are biological natural approach to enhance the productivity of crops under saline stress. Potent bacterial isolates having various kind of mechanism under stress condition which participatestoimprove the plant performance by assisting nutrient uptake and by stimulating the synthesis of phytogrowth hormones. These bacteria demonstrate a remarkable ability to modulate the rhizospheric environment, enhancing soil structure and nutrient availability. Food crops’ productivity and salt tolerance could be improved by utilizing selected potent Salt-Adapted Plant Growth Promoting Rhizo-Bacteria (SA-PGPR). The utilization of SaltAdapted Plant Growth Promoting Rhizo-bacteria (SA-PGPR) has emerged as a promising strategy to address salinity-induced challenges in agriculture. The economic and environmental benefits of SA-PGPR application, including reduced reliance on chemical inputs and improved soil health, are underscored. This systemic approach involves the application of rhizospheric bacteria that not only thrive in high-salt environments but also actively promote plant growth and development.
