- Abstract
Globodera rostochiensis (Woll.) and Globodera pallida (Stone), two potato cyst nematodes (PCNs), are significant pests worldwide. The first PCNs from North Himalayan regions of India were detected in 2010 in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh (HP). Despite a domestic quarantine, succeeding surveys in the mountainous regions of North India have shown the presence of PCNs in numerous districts of HP, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand. The seed plot technique is utilized in North Himalayan regions of India to create virus-free seed and the state agricultural departments distribute it to farmers in other parts of the nation. Therefore, the entire nation should be concerned about the emergence of such a significant potato seed location as the primary sites for large PCN populations. Inorganic pesticide based nematode management is an effectual way to address this biotic stress but improper use of chemicals can have a negative impact on the environment. Therefore, the farming community must prefer the employment of potential biocontrol agents, this might aid in fending off regulatory and environmental pressure. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enabled control of PCNs can be environmentally benign. In light of this, we undertook an extensive and thorough review of the available literature pertaining to PGPRs. Our analysis uncovered that PGPRs can greatly assist in enhancing plant resilience to various stressors that can impede their growth and yield. However, achieving these benefits will require successful development and commercialization efforts. Furthermore, before PGPRs can be widely employed, it is crucial to tackle the challenges related to their selectivity and restricted range of activity.
