To examine how to utilize the plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) in ameliorating drought and salinity stress conditions in agriculture, a bibliometric analysis is hereby carried out, examining trends and patterns in scientific literature based on information collected from the Scopus database, including production from 2019 to 2024; this analysis focuses on terms associated with environmental issues, such as drought, salinity, climate change, as well as plant growth regulators; a consistent upward trend in publication is shown in this study to indicate increased interest in PGPR / PGPB and its potential application in alleviating several environmental stresses; important conclusions indicated that a significantly large increase was directed toward studies on how PGPR / PGPB interacts with the plant hormones-gibberellins, ABA, auxin, cytokinins, and ethylene; the association of PGPR / PGPB with plant hormones in agricultural research is gradually becoming important, especially when it is associated with crop yield enhancement and stress tolerance to adverse environmental conditions; the study gives some insights into a changing research trend besides presenting the importance of PGPR / PGPB in respect to sustainable agriculture practice and development of stress-tolerant plants.
