Rhizosphere Management: A Novel Approach for Improving the Crop Productivity

Abstract

This paper can be focused on rhizosphere management to improve plant performance and soil health. The rhizosphere is the interacting soil zone between plant and soil biota. It could affect the plant nutrient availability through soil biological activity. It can be manipulated through plant management (selection of plant species, change in cropping pattern, intercropping etc.), soil management (addition of organic carbon or organic manure), microbial management (selection of biotic community), and system approach where plant, soil and microbial can be improved simultaneously. So, rhizospheric management can help us to improve soil health and plant productivity.
