This surrounding zone of plant roots in soil extended up to 1 mm wide, but has no distinct edge. Soil organisms reside in the rhizosphere derived energy, carbohydrates and other essential nutrients by utilizing the compounds and materials released from plant roots. The majority of microorganisms present in the rhizosphere are thought to have no direct consequence on plant growth and vigor. Rhizosphere soil include both beneficial as well as deleterious microorganism. Beneficial microorganisms have been exploited to great success the use of inoculants of nitrogen fixing bacteria, P-solubilizing microorganisms to limit the need for costly fertilizers in legume and cereal crops. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are bacteria that living in the rhizosphere which colonize plant roots and promote plant growth, yield and/or reduce disease or insect damage. The plant growth promoting effects of PGPR are mainly derived from morphological and physiological changes of the inoculated plant roots and their functions, and the enhancement of nutrient uptake. This review paper discusses about the effect of composite PGPR on crop growth, nutrient uptake and yield of different agricultural crops.

Thus, lion density in the Gir forests of India is dictated by female territory size. We studied the home range and habitat preference of lions using radio telemetry on seven lionesses spaced throughout the Gir between 2002 and 2005. Radio locations obtained by homing in were plotted on a classified (LISS III FCC) habitat map of Gir to obtain habitat use and availability. Habitat preference was computed using compositional analysis and Ivlev's index. Average (±SE) 100% Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) range of six lionesses was 48.2 ± 10.6 km 2 , 95% MCP was 34.7 ± 7.8 km 2 and 95% fixed kernel range size was 32.5 ± 8.2 km 2. Breeding female group density and group size was about 3 per 100 km 2 and 1.3 (0.5 SD, n = 45) respectively. Lions were observed to show a habitat preference (v 2 ð6df Þ ¼ 11:4, P = 0.08), the order of preference was Moist Mixed forests [ Mixed forests [ Savanna habitats [ Teak-Acacia-Zizyphus-Anogeissus forests [ Acacia-Lannea-Boswellia forests [ Thorn and Scrub forests [ Agriculture areas. Habitat preference during the day was for dense vegetation (v 2 ð6df Þ ¼ 35, P \ 0.001). At night lions even ventured into agricultural fields. Our data
