Abstract
Biofertilizers or biological fertilizers maintain soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen,
solubilizing P and K, producing plant growth substances and antibiotics as well as
biodegradation of organic matter in the soil that enriches the root rhizosphere. Microbial
biofertilizers are eco-friendly and less expensive alternatives to chemical fertilizers. The key
components of healthy soil are populations of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)
which play multiple beneficial and ecological roles in the rhizosphere soil. PGPR colonizes
rhizosphere or plant roots, resulting in phytostimulation, biofertilization and biocontrol either
directly and/or indirectly. Another important role of PGPR is its ability to decontaminate soils
through a process called soil bioremediation. Recently, the known rhizobacteria
environmentally friendly biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture are those belonging to
Brevundimonas spp., which play a significant role in improving crop production and soil
health .
