Abstract

Bioformulation for plant growth promotion continue to inspire research and development in many fields. Increase in soil fertility, plant growth promotion, and suppression of phytopathogens are the targets of the bioformulation industry that leads to the development of ecofriendly environment. The rhizosphere bacteria have immense application in sustainable agriculture as ecofriendly biofertilizer and biopesticides. Intensive commercial farming involves excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. It is feared that practice of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides continually would result in gradual aggravation of soil fertility. The aim of the review is to assess the biologically control of plant pathogens in with the effective development of bioinoculant industry.
