Plant associated rhizobacteria prevailing in different agro-ecosystems exhibit multiple traits which could be utilized in various aspect of sustainable agriculture. Two hundred thirty four isolates were obtained from the roots of basmati-385 and basmati super rice varieties growing in clay loam and saline soil at different locations of Punjab (Pakistan). Out of 234 isolates, 27 were able to solubilize zinc (Zn) from different Zn ores like zinc phosphate [Zn 3  (PO 4 ) 2 ], zinc carbonate (ZnCO 3 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO). The strain SH-10 with maximum Zn solubilization zone of 24 mm on Zn 3  (PO 4 ) 2 ore and strain SH-17 with maximum Zn solubilization zone of 14–15 mm on ZnO and ZnCO 3 ores were selected for further studies. These two strains solubilized phosphorous (P) and potassium (K)  in vitro  with a solubilization zone of 38–46 mm and 47–55 mm respectively. The strains also suppressed economically important rice pathogens  Pyricularia oryzae  and  Fusarium moniliforme  by 22–29% and produced various biocontrol determinants  in vitro . The strains enhanced Zn translocation toward grains and increased yield of basmati-385 and super basmati rice varieties by 22–49% and 18–47% respectively. The Zn solubilizing strains were identified as  Bacillus  sp. and  Bacillus cereus  by 16S rRNA gene analysis.
