Description |
Modern agriculture is characterized by “more food production from shrinking per capita land” to meet the food demands of the rising population which is projected to be 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to a new UN DESA report, 2015. Moreover, another attention is being called for the idea of sustainability, in order to carry out the so called ‘safe cultivation’ without jeopardising the environment. During the year 2015-2016, India is proud to be the largest producer (17-18 mt), consumer (22-23 mt) and importer (4-5 mt) of pulses. Within the national boundary, Madhya Pradesh has largest production followed by Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, together contributing about 79% of area under cultivation and 80% of pulses production. However, extensive use of chemicals in maintaining the proper nutrition of pulses creates enormous problems including environmental pollution and health hazards. Therefore, alternative options are being suggested and opted that encompasses utilization of beneficial bacteria known as ‘Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPB)’. Pulse production in India is subjected to different environmental stresses. Moreover, in order to feed the world, increasing production without causing harm to the environment has become the central concept of the sustainable agriculture. The intensive use of chemicals pollutes the environment and calls the attention of the researchers to figure out alternatives for pulse cultivation in sustainable manner. Utilization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in pulse production has been reported to be beneficial not only in maintaining the optimum yield but also in cutting down the cost of cultivation. Some of the PGP traits considered especially for pulse production under stress conditions are nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilisation, sulphur oxidation, production of enzymes such as ACC-deaminase and IAA-like substances, exopolysaccharides production and bioprotection.
