ABSTRACT
Microbes are intimate partners in global agriculture by way of mobilization of nutrients, antagonism against pathogens and exploitation of plantmicrobe interactions and optimization of plant microbiome allows farmers to apply less chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and improving plant growth and yield for sustainable development. The endophytic bacteriarhizobium, rhizobacteriaazospirillum, azotobacter, phosphobacteria, PGPR bacteria, cyanobacteria, symbiotic fungiecto and endo mycorrhiza, alleviate the impact of soil salinity. Minimal microbiome for plants is the key determinant of plant health and productivity. Millions of microbes inhabit plants, form complex ecological communities to improve plant growth, crop quality and productivity. Soil salinity in coastal regions is only a soil type character, but also due to low quality irrigation water. The plant associated microorganisms” Plant microbiome” play a significant role in conferring resistance to soil salinity. The cost of chemical fertilizers are ever increasing as they are produced from petroleum products and the gap between demand and supply of chemical fertilizers is widening.
