Exploration of rhizosphere and rhizosphere microbiome has been the research focus for last many decades. The rhizosphere is a junction for intercommunication among plants, insects, and microorganisms. It serves as diverse habitat with a nutrient-rich niche by providing a platform interaction among plants-soil-microorganism trio along with energy and matter trade-off. The rhizosphere microbiome also influences plant vigour, health, and defence against stresses by interfering with nutrient uptake, chemical signalling, and enzyme activity. Interaction among the microbiome, the environment, and the genetic makeup of host is well-known to contribute towards host health. The present chapter summarises the major effects of microbial communities present in rhizosphere on plant health and diseases.
