Abstract:Vegetables are very vital component of human nutrition. They are key supplier of minerals, vitamins and fibers that’s why they are known as protective food. Demand of vegetables increasing day by day. To increase the production of vegetables chemical fertilizers are used. But they are not good for human health as well as for the environment. They are well known to impart ill residual effects on the consumers. Rhizobacteria’s can be used to reduce or substitute the usage of chemical fertilizers in production of vegetable crops. They are naturally occurring soil bacteria’s which are known to fix nitrogen and to solubilize phosphorus and potash to increase their availability to the plants. They also synthesis many other growth promoting substances which are beneficial for plant growth.
