Mechanisms of Azospirillum in Plant Growth Promotion
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Azospirillum is one of the successful inoculants for di-nitrogen fixation and plant growth promotion in non-legume crops. It is micro-aerophillic microorganisms found mainly with cereals and grasses. Apart from dinitrogen fixation, it confers many other benefits to crop plants like improve seed germination, enhance seedling growth, enhancing proton flux, phosphorus solubilization, sequestration of iron, production of phytohormones, increase photosynthetic pigments, helping other plant growth promoters, enhance dry matter partitioning, restoration of vegetation in harsh environment, enhance seed quality, alleviate biotic and abiotic stresses, etc. It can be used as microbial inoculants of interest for overall success of plant in the field. I also enhance the adaptability of other bio-inoculants by providing wider benefits. In this mini-review, we are discussing such mechanisms which Azospirillum confers to plants.
