Abstract Soil is a living entity and it is not only a valuable natural resource in agricultural and food security but it is also towards maintenance of all life process. Agricultural productivity rests on the foundation of microbial diversity in the soil, and in recent years, PGPR have emerged as an important and promising tool for sustainable agriculture. PGPR are the soil bacteria inhabiting around/on the root surface and are directly or indirectly involved in promoting plant growth and development directly or indirectly, either by releasing plant growth phytohormones or other biologically active substances, altering endogenous levels of phytohormones, enhancing the availability and uptake of nutrients through fixation and mobilization, or reducing the harmful effects of pathogenic microorganisms on plants and/or by employing multiple mechanisms of action. Besides offering an economically attractive and ecologically sound route for augmenting the nutrient supply and protecting against soil borne pathogens, PGPR play an important roles to increase in soil fertility, bioremediation and stress management for development of eco-friendly sustainable agriculture.
