Rk Naresh Hello! Rhizosphere is a collection of microorganisms around plant roots. They have an important role in plant growth and soil fertility. Because, as a result of the activity of microorganisms, plants are well nourished and rotting occurs in the soil humus is formed
The rhizosphere is the zone of soil surrounding a plant root where the biology and chemistry of the soil are influenced by the root. As plant roots grow through soil they mostly release water soluble compounds such as amino acids, sugars and organic acids that supply food for the microorganisms. The rhizosphere is a nutrient-rich region of the soil immediately surrounding the plant root. This region is highly dynamic and supports a dense and diverse fauna. The rhizosphere harbors diverse microbial groups that perform various functions and exert numerous effects on plant growth. They are involved in nutrient cycling, protecting from phytopathogens as well as under biotic and abiotic stress conditions, and some may act as plant pathogens. t was suggested that the remediation role of rhizosphere was the main part of phytoremediation, and one of the main basic theories to remedy contaminated soils by the activity of green plants and other organisms. Soil microorganisms are responsible for most of the nutrient release from organic matter. When microorganisms decompose organic matter, they use the carbon and nutrients in the organic matter for their own growth. They release excess nutrients into the soil where they can be taken up by plants. The rhizosphere generally refers to the portion of soil found adjacent to the roots of living plants. The rhizosphere is subject to the influence of chemicals excreted by roots of living plants and the microbial community in this microzone. These rhizobacteria also indirectly improve plant growth by inducing plant resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses, such as pathogen attack and heavy metal contamination, using such mechanisms as the production of antibiotics, induction of induced systemic resistance, rhizosphere competence. The rhizosphere is an intense hub of activity in the soil. In this root zone around plants, plant roots feed nearby soil microbes in exchange for plant nutrients. In this way, the rhizosphere is the “bridge” where unavailable minerals are turned into plant nutrients. Beneficial soil microbes perform fundamental functions such as nutrient cycling, breaking down crop residues, and stimulating plant growth.
