Abstract

The application of plant probiotic bacteria for a sustainable environment-friendly agriculture system has created new avenues with integration of modern technology and eco-friendly management approaches. With a goal of using minimum chemical fertilizer and getting sustainable yield in cereal grains, especially of the rice crop, biological alternatives, such as biofertilizers, are inevitable for achieving sustainable development goal 2 (SDG-2). Rice, as the prime and staple food of Asian countries, also requires careful fertilization which is expensive and hazardous to the environment. The root and rhizosphere of rice harbor a plethora of probiotic bacteria belonging to diverse taxonomic groups. The use of alternative approaches especially the formulation and application of biofertilizer using the identified elite strains of probiotic bacteria is a blooming technology that can create a sustainable and environment-friendly rice production system. And consequently, significant developments have been achieved in using biofertilizers for rice cultivation throughout the world. Among the biofertilizer technologies, the majority of them are occupied by plant-associative or free-living bacteria under the genera of Rhizobium, Bacillus, Paraburkholderia, Delftia, Pseudomonas, Lysobacter, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Enterobacter, Brevibacterium, etc. A large body of literature is available on the development of biofertilizers that are capable of steady supply of N through fixation of atmospheric nitrogen and solubilization of essential nutrient elements in the rhizosphere, and provide other benefits to partially supplement the use of chemical fertilizers. It appears that the application of probiotic bacterial consortium as biofertilizer could be a sustainable approach for rice production. This chapter reviews and updates the isolation and identification of probiotic bacteria, and the effects of their consortium as well as their mode of beneficial effects for sustainable rice production systems.
