  Enhancing Rhizoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Using Brachiaria ramosa: A Review of Plant Growth Promotion and Degradation Potential

  By N. K. Madhumita, Shellsiya M, R. Nirmal Kumar, D. S. Ranjith Santhosh Kumar, P. Suganya

  Abstract: This paper examines rhizoremediation as a sustainable and environmentally acceptable remediation technique in response to the growing problem of petroleum hydrocarbon pollution in soils. Brachiaria ramosa, a tropical grass species that may be useful in contaminated settings, is the main emphasis. A critical analysis of the literature on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), microbial consortia involved in hydrocarbon breakdown, and rhizosphere-mediated degradation is conducted. There is a thorough discussion of important …
