Globally, agrochemicals are introduced to the soil as additional nutrients to increase soil fertility. A broad variety of situations in nature can be adapted by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPRs), thus making them a potential ecologically sustainable alternative. In addition, they are involved in a variety of ecologically important activities and interact with soil microorganisms both effectively and antagonistically. The growth of plants is known to be influenced by the presence of rhizobacteria in cultivated crops through a variety of direct or indirect mechanisms. In this paper, we report the isolation and characterization of rhizobacteria from soil samples of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) taken from different regions of Saurashtra and Gujarat, India. From the primary isolation, fifty-four bacterial isolates were obtained and their potential for encouraging plant growth was examined. Based on the test results of qualitative and quantitative physiological properties, of all the bacterial isolates, PGRJ3 showed the most advantageous traits as rhizobacteria that encourage plant growth, indicating that it can be useful for enhancing yield, growth, and sustainable agriculture. A chemical synthesis method was employed for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles, Synthesized particles were characterized by UV visible spectrophotometer and Transmission electron microscopy. Synergistic effect of ZnO NPs and potent rhizobacteria J3 were evaluated for seed priming of fenugreek. The obtained result suggests positive impact of nanoparticles and rhizobacteria for seed priming of fenugreek. Therefore, this study suggests that this potent rhizobacteria and nanoparticles could be used to formulate biofertilizers, which could be applied to sustainable cultivation to improve crop health.
