Many bacteria found in the rhizosphere provide contribution for the host plant's growth and protection that are known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere are important factors in determining the health of plants. Research for commercialization of these PGPR as an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers for a more environmentally friendly treatment is continuously being improved. In this review, we discuss the essential traits that rhizobacteria must possess for them to be considered PGPR and report the bacterial species that exhibit these essential plant growth-promoting activities and which are approved for use by the South Korean regulations.
