The potassium solubilizing microorganisms (KSMs) are a rhizospheric microorganism which solubilizes the insoluble potassium (K) to soluble forms of K for plant growth and yield.

The Indian Himalayan region is responsible for providing natural resources to a large part of the Indian subcontinent and contains varied flora and fauna. Major challenge for the next century will be battling climate change to ensure production of sufficient food for the global human population. Indian Himalayan region will be under an increased pressure to produce food resources for increasing human habitation.

Climate change impact at the global level has become a major concern today in Indian Himalaya. In the regional context, climate change has contributed to unpredictable...

Developing sustainable agricultural practices requires understanding both the basic and applied aspects of agriculturally important microorganisms, with a focus on transforming agricultural systems from being nutrient-deficient to nutrient-rich.

Naturally occuring plant-microbe interactions facilitate the survival of plants under these stressful conditions.The rhizosphere consists of several groups of microbes, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) is one such group of microbes that assists plants in coping with multiple stresses and also promote plant growth.
