8.12 Future Prospects
For the past few decades, the researchers are giving more attention to the management of soil pollution caused by various chemicals or other substances only. The
bioremediation of polluted soil serves as one of the best ways to manage the polluted
soil. This approach utilizes the plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) whose
activity is influenced by climate change. So, the success rate of PGPR is highly
associated with climate, so it is important to understand the plant growth patterns
along with its surrounding environment before the application of PGPR especially
for a particular given set of conditions. Therefore, it is needed to identify a specific
PGPR strain for a particular region for ensuring their better performance and
effectively facilitate the bioremediation of polluted soil under changing climate
conditions.
