Abstract

Pulses are crucial for global food security and sustainable agriculture. Enhancing their yield sustainably using multifunctional rhizobacteria offers an eco-friendly solution. These helpful microbes increase pulse/legume productivity in a number of ways, such as by fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphate, producing plant hormones, and controlling infections. They lessen reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers by enhancing soil health, increasing nutrient availability, and enhancing plant stress tolerance, thereby, promoting sustainable pulse production and global food and nutritional security through ecologically friendly production technology.
