Competency of Rhizobial Inoculation in Sustainable Agricultural Production and Biocontrol of Plant Diseases

The rate of growth the global population poses a risk to food security, demanding an increase in production. Much world's cultivable soils also do not have ideal farming conditions such as soil health and fertility problem increased pest attacks, which are challenges In this perspective, there is need agricultural production using more economically environmentally sustainable approach. As practices improvement, rhizobial inoculants represent practically effective, ecologically safe, alternative means realizing maximum This review addressed how inoculation advances through improving plant growth, nutrient availability uptake, yields by enhancing bio-fixation atmospheric nitrogen solubilization nutrients. Besides, offer biocontrol diseases providing resistance against disease-causing pathogens or suppression diseases. Mechanisms involved include competition for infection sites nutrients, activation induced systemic resistance, substances hormones, antibiotics, enzymes, siderophores, hydrogen cyanide, exo-polysaccharides. Consequently, approach promising yet supplement replace chemical fertilizers, serving basis future research on Despite multifunctional benefits inoculation, variation implementation practice farmers. Therefore, researchers should work eradicating farmers' constraints rhizobia, studies be concentrated toward methods inoculant quality promotion technology.
