Synopsis

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world and staple food for more than 50 % of the global population. Meeting the increasing global demand for food, chemical fertilizers are used on a large scale these days in agricultural practices. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers is leading to diminishing reserve of high quality raw material and increasing energy costs. Hence, use of Bacillus consortia in the form of biofertilizers can be considered as an important strategy. Bacillus represent a high proportion of the soil microbial biomass. Plant rhizospheric soils are a major habitat for Bacillus. The association of rhizospheric Bacillus with plants is found to confer many advantages, such as the nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, potassium mobilization as well as production of antimicrobials, phytohormones, ammonia production, production of 1- Aminocyclopropane-1- carboxylate deaminase (ACC), siderophore production, and plant protection against abiotic and biotic stresses.
