"Soil is an integral part of the complicated natural environment which is\r\nvery much alive with complex ecosystem of microbes. Among them, the symbiotic\r\nassociation of rhizobacteria with plants especially on agriculturally important crops\r\nis very much advantageous in improving the soil and plant health. These plant\r\ngrowth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have evolved over the years and involved\r\nin many plant functions such as growth promotion, root development, colonization,\r\nproduction of metabolites and in eliciting plant defence mechanism against abiotic\r\nand biotic agents. The PGPR’s ability to fix the atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize\r\nphosphate, potassium and zinc, produce siderophore along with wide variety of\r\nphytohormones and secondary metabolites such as antibiotics have attributed to their\r\nsignificance as biocontrol agents. These functions lead to their application as\r\nbiofertilizers, biopesticides, bioprotectants and phytostimulators. The employment\r\nof these PGPR is very much important in agricultural fields as they reduce the burden\r\nof chemical fertilizers and pesticides to the farmers and in turn promises an increased\r\ncrop yield. This chapter discusses the symbiotic association of PGPR with plants in\r\ndetail including their direct and indirect mechanisms and basis of their induced\r\nsystemic defence mechanism. It also highlights the use of bioinoculants and nanoformulations\r\nof PGPR as an effective tool towards enhanced agricultural production\r\nand to combat the plant diseases in an eco-friendly manner."^^ .
