Abstract EN
The worldwide increases in both environmental damage and human population pressure have the unfortunate consequence that global food production may soon become insufficient to feed all of the world's people.
It is therefore essential that agricultural productivity be significantly increased within the next few decades.
To this end, agricultural practice is moving toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach.
This includes both the increasing use of transgenic plants and plant growth-promoting bacteria as a part of mainstream agricultural practice.
Here, a number of the mechanisms utilized by plant growth-promoting bacteria are discussed and considered.
It is envisioned that in the not too distant future, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) will begin to replace the use of chemicals in agriculture, horticulture, silviculture, and environmental cleanup strategies.
While there may not be one simple strategy that can effectively promote the growth of all plants under all conditions, some of the strategies that are discussed already show great promise.
