Introduction
The rizosphere refers to the region of soil near plant roots. Compared to the rest of soil, this area is relatively luxurious- nutrients are more plentiful and bacteria abound. Sylvia et al compare the rizosphere to an oasis.

Azotobacter and Azospirillum, as well as other bacterial species (e.g., Bacillus) produce plant growth-stimulating hormones such as gibberellic and indoleacetic acid.
