“…Within this context, the establishment of a sustainable agriculture production system must attend to the needs for improved crop productivity with the maintenance of soil fertility and ecosystem services to reach food security for the current and future generations. The use of plant-growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) as agricultural inputs can meet the requirements for sustainability as an eco-friendly alternative to the use of potentially deleterious chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, while improving plant productivity and health [ 4 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

The subject of this review is to discuss some aspects related to the use of biopolymeric matrices as carriers for plant-growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) in agricultural systems as a possible technological solution for the establishment of agricultural production practices that result in fewer adverse impacts on the environment, reporting some promising and interesting results on the topic. Results from the encapsulation of different PGPB on alginate, starch, chitosan, and gelatin matrices are discussed, systematizing some advances made in this area of knowledge in recent years. Encapsulation of these bacteria has been shown to be an effective method for protecting them from unsuitable environments, and these new products that can act as biofertilizers and biopesticides play an important role in the establishment of a sustainable and modern agriculture. These new products are technological solutions for replacing deleterious chemical fertilizers and pesticides, maintaining soil fertility and stability, and improving crop productivity and food security. Finally, in the near future, scale-up studies will have to provide new information about the large-scale production of these materials as well as their application in the field under different biotic and abiotic stress conditions.

“…Plant growth-promoting bacteria, through the synthesis of auxins, zeatin, gibberellins, nitrogen fixation, and iron solubilization, play a pivotal role in fostering plant growth and facilitating the equitable distribution of essential nutrients, a function they execute within the rhizosphere [6]. These microorganisms have effectively ameliorated organic carbon content, water composition, soil acidity, alkalinity, and soil porosity [7]. In order to maximize the impact of biofertilizers on plant growth and yield, the judicious application of appropriate microorganism strains, characterized by heightened efficiency, assumes paramount significance [8].…”

In recent decades, Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPRs) have been widely utilized as an environmentally friendly achievement that enhances soil fertility without causing pollution, ultimately increasing plant production. This experiment aimed to investigate the effect of growth-promoting bacteria on minitubers of three potato cultivars in a factorial design based on RCBD (completely randomized block design), using two factors in three replications. These factors included minitubers of potato cultivars (Agria, Caeser, Banba) and PGPRs (without PGPRs and PGPRs inoculation including Pseudomonas putida, Azospirillum lipoferum, and Azetobacter chroococcum). Experiment results indicated that the application of A. lipoferum significantly impacted the number of tubers in cv. Agria and Banba, while P. putida had a notable effect on the number of tubers in cv. Banba. The highest tuber weight was achieved in cv. Agria and Caeser and the highest dry weight of tubers were observed in the cv. Agria with the application of A. lipoferum. The application of A. chroococcum had the most significant influence on the Fresh weight of shoots in the cv. Agria. Based on the findings of this study, the utilization of Azospirillum lipoferum bacteria in potato cultivation could lead to an increase in potato yield.
