| description | Banana, an important fruit crop, requires high amounts of chemical fertilizers for commercial cultivation, which is costly and
can be hazardous to the environment, when used excessively. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could be used for
growth promotion, nutrient uptake and some time as an alternative source of N-fertilizer of non-leguminous crops. Recently,
research on PGPR for crop improvements are gaining prominence and thousands of research works have been published so
far. However, use of this noble technique in banana production system is limited. Nevertheless, reports from various
experimental findings suggested that PGPR strains could successfully formed colonies on the root surface of bananas, where
more bacterial cells were found in the root hair proliferation zone. Application of PGPR alone could not produce significant
benefits that require minimal or reduced levels of fertilizer-N consequently could produce a synergistic effect on root growth
and development. The inoculation also increased the N yield and fixed N2 in association with banana roots subsequently
increased the yield, improved the physical attributes of fruit quality and initiated early flowering. The summarized review
suggested that PGPR are effective as a bioenhancer and biofertilizer for banana cultivation. For consistent and precise results
extensive field experiments of bananas inoculated with PGPR strains should be continued. |
