Deciphering the Role and Diversity of Microbes Present in Millet Rhizosphere

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Millet Rhizosphere

Part of the book series: Rhizosphere Biology ((RHBIO))

Abstract

Millets are cereal crops that are grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world most popular in China, India, and Africa. The millet rhizosphere refers to the area in the soil surrounding millet roots, and it can be quite helpful in managing some pest problems and encouraging healthy growth. One reason it grows so well in these areas is that it can thrive in high temperatures and low humidity. This chapter outlines what we need to know about the millet rhizosphere, from its structure to its microorganisms and more. Soil biodiversity can be restored by using millet crops as their rhizosphere has a variety of microbial populations which can only be seen in the areas/soil where millet crops are grown. The rhizosphere is an area of soil that surrounds plant roots and is shaped by their biological responses. In millet crops, it has been shown that the rhizosphere influences root growth, influencing nutrient uptake and stress resistance. Several microbes have been found in millet rhizospheres, some of which are only found in this environment. This is important as it can help us understand how these microbes affect plants in terms of plant nutrition and plant health. The rhizosphere of millets is a habitat for bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. These organisms play an important role in soil quality through their interaction with plants. Some organisms help plants from getting resistance to various soil-borne diseases. There is not much information/research available on millet rhizosphere due to its less consumption. This chapter concentrates on the benefits of microbial populations in the millet rhizosphere and their importance with all the available information.
