Actinomycetes: Dependable Tool for Sustainable Agriculture
Journal Title: Current Investigations in Agriculture and Current Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
In fast developing countries, especially in countries like India where there is always huge demand for food grains, the most important question that arises is whether we are running towards depletion or growing towards sustainable future. The balance towards more sustainable future could be attained only by finding and employing most efficient and multi-faceted alternate farming techniques instead of completely depending upon chemicals. One of the most efficient tools in achieving this is organic farming especially the usage of rhizobacteria with multiple PGPR traits. Actinomycetes are one of the most important groups of the rhizosphere colonizing bacteria with multiple growth promoting traits. They are already well-known for their ability to produce broad spectrum antibiotics. In recent years Actinomycetes are widely studied for their plant growth promoting activities and few are commercialized. This article shows the importance of this group of bacteria as potential tools for more eco-friendly and sustainable agriculture
