The pesticides are known for the control of pests as well as on the other hand these are hazards for human, animal, plants and microbial life. To degrade the pesticides, biodegradation is an efficient method. The Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) which are associated with the rhizosphere of the plant are found to be beneficial for the pesticide degradation in the soil. In the present investigation, these bacteria were used for the pesticide degradation. The effect of pesticide degradation on by PGPR on the growth of cotton variety RCH2 was studied. With the application of PGPR along with pesticide, Malathion the growth of cotton variety was found improved in some cases while as compare to control this growth was slightly less.
