      abstract = {Attaining sustainable agricultural production while  preserving environmental quality, agro-ecosystem functions  and biodiversity represents a major challenge for current  agricultural practices; further, the traditional use of  chemical inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, nutrients etc.)  poses serious threats to crop productivity, soil fertility  and the nutritional value of farm produce. Given these  risks, managing pests and diseases, maintaining  agro-ecosystem health, and avoiding health issues for  humans and animals have now become key priorities. The use  of PGPR as biofertilizers, plant growth promoters,  biopesticides, and soil and plant health managers has  attracted considerable attention among researchers,  agriculturists, farmers, policymakers and consumers alike.  Using PGPR as bioinoculants can help meet the expected  demand for global agricultural productivity to feed the  worlds booming population, which is predicted to reach  roughly 9 billion by 2050. However, to provide effective  bioinoculants, PGPR strains must be safe for the  environment, offer considerable plant growth promotion and  biocontrol potential, be compatible with useful soil  rhizobacteria, and be able to withstand various biotic and  abiotic stresses. Accordingly, the book also highlights the  need for better strains of PGPR to complement increasing  agro-productivity.},
