abstract: Sustainable agricultural development is best defined as the management and
conservation of agricultural resource base in an appropriate, economically viable and
socially acceptable way. Thus, sustainable agriculture should ensure availability, access,
utilization and stability of resources to present and future generations. However,
ecosystem resilience has emerged as a key factor to reach the goal of sustainability.
Resilience is defined as the capability of a system to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or
recover from the effects of an undergoing change so as to ensure the preservation or
restoration of its essential basic structures, identity and functions. There has been
substantial increase in the productivity of the crops with the use of chemical inputs to
provide nutrition to the crop and to control pests and diseases. However, these have
several negative effects like development of pathogen resistance to the applied agents
and their non-target environmental impacts, degradation of soil productivity, depletion
of non-renewable sources of energy (Prasad et al., 2014) etc. Plant growth promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) commonly called rhizobacteria, have received prominent attention
because of their multifarious activities to improve plant growth and disease control
ensuring crop yields in a sustainable way. The application of PGPR to crops offers an
environment friendly approach of reducing chemical inputs (Prasad et al., 2005, 2015).
