Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Improve Seeds Germination and Growth of Argania spinosa

is among the most important species of the Moroccan forest in terms of ecological, environmental, and socio-economic aspects. However, it faces a delicate balance between regeneration and degradation in its natural habitat. Hence, the efforts to preserve and regenerate argan forests are crucial for biodiversity, soil quality, and local livelihoods, yet they face challenges like overgrazing and climate change. Sustainable management practices, including reforestation and community engagement, are vital for mitigating degradation. Similarly, exploiting the argan tree's rhizosphere can enhance soil quality by leveraging its rich microbial diversity. This approach not only improves crop growth but also maintains ecosystem balance, ultimately benefiting both agriculture and the environment. This enrichment can be achieved by different factors: mycorrhizae, plant extracts, algae extracts, and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The benefits provided by PGPR may include increased nutrient availability, phytohormone production, shoot, root development, protection against several plant pathogens, and disease reduction. In this study, the effect of rhizobacteria isolated from the Agran rhizosphere was evaluated on germination percentage and radicle length for
