The rhizosphere has become an important area to test and evaluate new opportunities being developed in biotechnology. This is not a new concept for the rhizosphere, as rhizobial inoculants have been used to enhance nitrogen fixation and growth of legumes since the turn of the century. However, the novelty in recent years is the recognition that biological processes are regulated and can be manipulated genetically, opening enormous opportunities in the future for optimization of plant productivity in managed and natural ecosystems, while minimizing the potential of environmental damage by misuse of agrochemicals.
