What is Interaction Between Metal Oxide Nanoparticles and PGPR on Plant Growth and Development about?

Plant growth and development depend highly on interaction with the immediate surroundings, mainly the highly complex sphere called the rhizosphere. Rhizosphere is a highly interactive space that comprises plant root's interactions with the diverse soil microorganisms, which is greatly dependent on the physiochemical composition of the soil. The exponential advancement of westernization and overpopulation causes a decrease in fertility soil and limits the land mass for agricultural purposes; this raises concerns when considering the high demand for crop production. Soil microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining the soil ecosystem and crop productivity. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are free-living microbes essential in sustaining soil fertility and plant development. Metal oxide nanoparticles have increasingly been investigated for their application to increase soil microbiome. Although there is evidence of eco-toxicity of the metal oxide nanoparticles as they have the potential to inhibit the activity of the rhizosphere. This chapter discusses the use of engineered nanoparticles synthesis using aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), copper oxide (CuO), silicon oxide (SiO 2
