This review explores how plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) and nanoparticles can improve the
physicochemical traits of wheat plants and boost crop yields. Wheat is essential for the world's food supply, but its growth
is impacted by factors such as soil quality and climate. The potential for enhancing crop productivity and soil quality with
PGPRs is promising. They improve wheat plant photosynthesis, soil fertility, nutrient availability, and antioxidant activity.
When nanoparticles and PGPRs are used together, physicochemical characteristics are improved due to their synergistic
effects. These environmentally friendly techniques have the potential to encourage the sustainable production of wheat,
reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and increase soil fertility. However, it is critical to address any
possible health and environmental risks associated with their use. Overall, PGPRs and nanoparticles are viable options
for increasing wheat crop production and sustainability.
