The Role of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) in Sustainable Agriculture

2024-04-02T08:59:02+00:00

The majority of farmers currently use chemical fertilizers and pesticides in farming. However, continuous use of these materials can cause negative impacts such as environmental pollution, health risks, nutrient cycle imbalances, and reduced crop yields. To overcome this problem, research has been conducted that focuses on the use of microorganisms found in the soil layer surrounding plant roots, called the rhizosphere. These microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa form a group known as Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR can increase plant growth through various mechanisms such as nitrogen fixation, phosphorus dissolution, production of cyanide acid compounds (HCN), and Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) compounds. This research aims to collect and analyze articles related to the role of PGPR in sustainable agriculture. The method used is a literature review by collecting sources from Google Scholar and other internet databases. The results of the articles collected were on topics related to PGPR, including mechanisms of nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization, as well as their role in producing IAA and siderophores. Apart from that, the research also discusses the role of PGPR as a biocontrol agent that can control plant pathogens, and the antagonistic activity of PGPR against pathogens.

The Role of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria in Sustainable Agriculture

2024-04-02T08:59:08+00:00

The repeated and unwise use of chemical fertilizers agricultural land can cause various negative impacts such as disrupting natural microbes and losing soil fertility. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria are soil bacteria that can convert phosphate from insoluble to soluble so that it can be absorbed by plants. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria play an important role in increasing plant productivity. Although the availability of phosphorus (P) in soil is in high concentrations, only 0.1% of the total phosphorus is available to plants and represents a small portion of the total in the soil. This occurs because of the low level of solubility of phosphorus and its fixation ability in the soil with several other metal elements in the soil such as Al, Ca, Fe to form aluminum phosphate, calcium phosphate and iron phosphate. There is no availability of phosphate for plants so that the role of phosphate-soluble bacteria is needed which plays a role in providing phosphate for plants so that it can increase agricultural yields. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria have great potential as biofertilizers because they can increase the bioavailability of phosphorus for plants, promote sustainable agriculture, and increase soil fertility, and increase crop yields.
