As PGPR associated technologies are currently experiencing a dramatic increase, research on the interactions between PGPR and crops has become vital and is considered to play a key role for the future of sustainable and organic agriculture. PGPR shows a significant role in the sustainable agriculture that can increase the demand for crop production with a considerable reduction of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides use is a big challenge nowadays.This conference pays tribute to the growing significance of bio-fertilizers, bio-fungicides, bio-pesticides, bio-stimulants, bio-herbicides, bio-nematicides, etc. while, identifying newly emerging technologies in the league. Hence, we cordially welcome you to join us and witness the advances in agriculture on the use of PGPR strategies to the next generation of green revolution in safe food production.

In this conference, we bring together the academia, researchers, entrepreneurs, policy makers, progressive farmers and Government officials comprising a core team of technical experts from across India to deliberate and understand the strengths and weaknesses in developing PGPR associated technologies for use by farming communities across the country.The outputs would form a strong foundation in addressing the issues of global food security in terms of using PGPR associated technologies from lab to field. The agenda of the 9th Asian PGPR Indian Chapter National conference is to create a good platform for scientific deliberations and discussions on PGPR research by means of national and global networking between academia and industry visionaries. In addition, nationally renowned speakers, academicians, industrialists and policy makers those who are doing research on PGPR have been invited for research collaboration in sustainable agriculture which in turn useful for entrepreneurial opportunity for young minds.
