How Pantoea can help solve modern agriculture problems: A Review

Abstract

Modern agriculture is challenged by soil degradation, nutrient depletion, plant diseases, and excessive dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. By examining different strains of Pantoea, the study highlights their role in promoting plant growth, improving their tolerance to stress, reducing reliance on synthetic agricultural inputs, and contributing to more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Using a combination of practical qualitative methods and reliable quantitative data, the research gathers extensive information on how these microbes impact various crops and key soil health indicators. The improvements in plant growth statistics and nutrient levels are often quite astonishing. The results generally suggest that Pantoea ramps up crop productivity and helps revitalize the soil, offering a promising alternative to traditional farming methods that sometimes hurt our ecosystem. These findings gently underscore the value of weaving biological solutions into everyday agriculture, with Pantoea hinting at a greener and more sustainable future. We have found that the use of Pantoea as a biofertilizer is consistent with broader public health goals by promoting healthy diets, reducing chemical pollution, and caring for the environment.

This review aims to explore the potential of Pantoea bacteria as biofertilizers and biocontrol agents to address critical challenges in modern agriculture, such as soil degradation, crop disease management, and sustainable yield enhancement. The key issue under investigation is the effectiveness of Pantoea species in enhancing plant growth and resilience while reducing reliance on chemical inputs. This requires collecting qualitative and quantitative data on the effects of Pantoea on different crops, soil health indicators, and market acceptance.
