“…Our results are in line with the studies of other researchers (Falch et al 1995, Kreitow et al 1999, Burja et al 2001, Nain et al 2010, and Rana et al 2012 who demonstrated the stimulatory influence of green-blue algae on wheat development and their inhibitory effect on pathogenic microflora growth, by synthesizing some active compounds, which inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi. The presented results also agree with reports of Rastogi and Singha (2009) who indicated that some cyanobacterial secondary metabolites were toxic to living organisms.…”

The physiological response of plants to triple foliar biofertilization with cyanobacteria and green algae under the conditions of limited use of chemical fertilizers was investigated. Triple foliar biofertilization with intact cells of Microcystis aeruginosa MKR 0105, Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, and Chlorella sp. significantly enhanced physiological performance and growth of plants fertilized with a synthetic fertilizer YaraMila Complex (1.0, 0.5, and 0.0 g per plant). This biofertilization increased the stability of cytomembranes, chlorophyll content, intensity of net photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, and decreased intercellular CO2 concentration. Applied monocultures augmented the quantity of N, P, K in plants, the activity of enzymes, such as dehydrogenases, RNase, acid or alkaline phosphatase and nitrate reductase. They also improved the growth of willow plants. This study revealed that the applied nontoxic cyanobacteria and green algae monocultures have a very useful potential to increase production of willow, and needed doses of chemical fertilizers can be reduced.

“…Similar observations were also reported by Ramesh et al, (2014), inoculation of B. aryabhattai strains significantly increased shoot and seed weight, Zn uptake/assimilation as compared to un-inoculated control in soybean and wheat crops cultivated under vertisols of central India. Similar increases in dry matter accumulation, zinc acquisition through the inoculation of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria have been reported (Mader et al, 2010;Rana et al, 2012). Similarly, Janaki and Velu (2010) reported that inoculation of different zinc solubilizing bacterial strains increases the grain (6135 kg ha -1 ) and stover yield as well as zinc uptake in grain and straw.…”

Free-living plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have favourable effect on plant growth, tolerance against stresses and are considered as a promising alternative to inorganic fertilizer for promoting plant growth, yield and quality. PGPR colonize at the plant root, increase germination rates, promote root growth, yield, leaf area, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content, protein content, tolerance to drought, shoot and root weight, and delayed leaf senescence. Several important bacterial characteristics, such as biological nitrogen fixation, solubilization of inorganic phosphate and mineralization of organic phosphate, nutrient uptake, 1-aminocydopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase activity and production of siderophores and phytohormones, can be assessed as plant growth promotion traits. By efficient use, PGPR is expected to contribute to agronomic efficiency, chiefly by decreasing costs and environmental pollution, by eliminating harmful chemicals. This review discusses various bacteria acting as PGPR, their genetic diversity, screening strategies, working principles, applications for wheat and future aspects in terms of efficiency, mechanisms and the desirable properties. The elucidation of the diverse mechanisms will enable microorganisms developing agriculture further.
