Abstract
Pests are enormously dangerous to the
agriculture industry especially the root-knot nematodes. Furthermore, as the
global population is expected to reach 9 billion people in 2050; the need to
advocate for efficiency in farming as influenced by climate change; the
necessity for diseases control on crops has been brought about. Many of these
pests have in the past been controlled by chemical fertilizers and pesticides
but due to their high prices, their negative impacts on the environment and
their prohibitive charges other natural methods have had to be considered. Microorganism
and particularly plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) especially P.
fluorescens has been established as one of the solution to the biologic al
control. Some of the benefits of these microorganisms include facilitating of
growth and yield of the plant, suppression of nematode diseases, as well as
enhancement of the plants ability to fight disease through enzymatic and
metabolically. Some bacteria found to improve the nematodes regulation as well
as yield include PGPRs such as Bacillus, Trichoderma, and Pseudomonas
species. Further, PGPRs can lead to systemic resistance in plants to make the
plant immune to pest and diseases in the longer run. This review mainly focuses
on enlightening about biocontrol and how PGPRs can replace the toxic chemical
with explosive advantages to agriculture.
