ABSTRACT.
The article evaluates the possibilities of using microorganisms in the root zone of plants as microbial bioremediators and plant growth stimulators. The possibility of using rhizosphere bacteria by seed inoculation is a good alternative to the use of pesticides. Moreover, introducing them into the soil will improve the quality of the soil itself, since they are producers of biologically active substances. At the same time, the isolated microorganisms have the ability to naturally bioremediate soils contaminated with heavy metals. This point is especially important for soils with obvious anthropogenic load. As a result, such microorganisms will not only have the functions of phytostimulants, but also biosorbents of heavy metals, which will allow their use in agriculture, horticulture, afforestation and phytoremediation.
