ABSTRACT
Five Pseudomonas isolates were isolated from the rhizosphere of the Chickpea plant (Cultivar RKGK-13-414). Native
strains were identified as plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria, frequently reported earlier. This study shows that these five
novel Pseudomonas sp. isolates can be effective new plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria, for that purpose it was necessary
to characterize the strains. The market of biofertilizers is expected to reach 3.8$ billion by 2025 from 2$ billion in 2019. The use
of biopesticides is increasing slowly at a rate of 8% annually based on the different types of microbial pesticides. Therefore, the
present research has been undertaken to discuss PGPR- as bio-controlling agent and promote the widespread adoption of
biofertilizers, to promote sustainable agriculture.
