About PGPR

Plant Growth-Promoting organisms are usually Biofertilizers or Biofungicides. Additionally

PGPR are also used for controlling several plant pathogens, enhance nutrient uptake and in

rhizoremediation. In the context of increasing international concern for food and environmental

quality, the use of PGPR for reducing chemical inputs in agriculture is a pressing issue. The

application and commercialization of PGPR for sustainable agriculture is a growing and

demanding market world-wide. Approx. 50% of the current world population is engaged in

agriculture, of which 30% are small holder farmers living on less than $2.00. Farm size,

productivity and poverty are strongly linked. The promise of technologies such as PGPR is that

they will provide solutions that will increase the productivity and profits of small holder

farmers around the world, thus increasing food supply and reducing poverty in a sustainable

way. Hence, the research must be focused on the new concept of rhizo-engineering based on

favorable partitioning of the exotic biomolecules, which create a unique setting for the

interaction between plant and microbes. Future research in rhizosphere biology will rely on the

development of molecular and biotechnological approaches to increase our knowledge of

rhizosphere biology and to achieve an integrated management of soil microbial populations.

Studies on PGPR fit very well with these goals, and for this reason, our research area is

receiving renewed interest.

Due to an increasing importance of PGPR and support from many Asian countries, a need was

felt to establish individual chapters in various countries. Currently, five Asian countries have

their own Chapters of PGPR Society under the parental Society of Asian PGPR Society for

Sustainable Agriculture. India Chapter of Asian PGPR Society

India Chapter of Asian PGPR Society is a non-profit scientific society established in 2017, to

facilitate conduct of annual conferences across major cities in India, to create a platform to share

and discuss their common interests in propagating advances in PGPR research and its

commercialization within India. In India, though PGPR research has picked up tremendously,

there is a still a need to widen the scope and perspectives of its application to several agricultural

crops. PGPR applications need to be projected as viable alternatives or supplements to chemical

fertilizers and pesticides. At this juncture, the role of Indian Chapter of Asian PGPR Society of

Sustainable Agriculture is pivotal. India Chapter of Asian PGPR Society is instrumental in

bringing researchers, academics and entrepreneurs together on a common platform for the

exchanging of ideas, promoting public-private partnerships and promoting research integration

among public and private agencies.

Asian PGPR Society for Sustainable Agriculture

http://asianpgpr.com

The Asian PGPR Society for Sustainable Agriculture is a scientific society

formed in 2009 as a nonprofit organization to enable scientists, researchers,

academicians, government groups, students, farmers, and industry personnel

from various agricultural disciplines to meet and discuss their common

interests in academics, research and innovation with a dedicated objective of

popularizing the tremendous potential of PGPR in sustainable agriculture.

The Society has more than 1500 members in Asia & other countries and is

entirely run by volunteers. It’s spearheaded by eminent research scientists and

experts in the field of PGPR research and includes members with expertise in

various facets of PGPR enriched with a wide membership of graduate

students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, technical assistants, plant

pathologists, research scientists, professors from federal and provincial

governments, universities, and companies engaged in plant health research.

Principle objectives of The Asian PGPR are to encourage research, education,

and the dissemination of knowledge on the importance of PGPR. Asian

PGPR Society-sponsored international and regional association meetings to

provide an opportunity for PGPR researchers to meet and discuss their

common interests.

International Conferences Organized by Asian PGPR Society

Over the years, the society has organized several International Conferences, in various

Asian Countries including: India (2009), China (2011), Philippines (2013), Vietnam

(2015), and Indonesia (2017) with grand success.

Salient Features of 5th

National Asian PGPR

Conference - 2019

The Department of Botany and Microbiology had its humble beginning with establishment of

Botany department in 1967 and Microbiology department (1992). A strong foundation of the

department was laid down by late Prof. A.S. Rao, Ph.D. (Cantab) and legacy of the Department

has been continued through recruitment of highly qualified staff, research scholars and students of

outstanding quality. Several research projects funded by CSIR, UGC, DNES, APSEB, ICAR,

DAE, BSI, SERB, DBT and DST have been successfully completed by the faculty and several

projects are ongoing in the department. The department received UGC Non-SAP, UGC- SAP (2nd

phase) & DST- FIST schemes. The department has herbal Garden with nearly 300 species of

medicinal plants and 76 PGPR and 36 antibiotic and anticancer strains of marine bacteria and

actinomycetes to serve the need of researchers and professionals. received UGC Non-SAP, UGC-
