The populations of microorganisms that exist around the roots of plantain in the various farm locations across Toru Orua metropolis of Bayelsa, Nigeria are different due to difference in ecological locations. This paper assessed the different microorganisms in the Rhizosphere region of the sample plantain. Roots samples collected in University of Africa Toru-Orua (UAT) farm, Angalabiri farm and Koroye farm contain high population of bacteria compared to other Area in Toru-orua. In those locations where we have higher population of microorganisms like UAT farm, Angalabirir farm and Koroye farm, there was evidence of good nutrition in those locations. So, microorganisms in essence characteristically enhance the nutrition of plants Nitrobacter winogradkyi was found in roots samples collected in UAT, Angalabiri and Koroye farm due to the presence of cover crops around the plantain. These varieties of fungi were also isolated. The fungal population follows the same trend. They include aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. These are the largest of all microorganisms in the soil. Others were Rhizobium, Nitrobacter, Winogradkyl, Azomona argillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Practices that would enhance nutrition of the plants and the proliferation of bacteria and fungi around the roots of plantain are recommended such as organic matter accumulation in form of green manuring, zero tillage and non-use of chemicals and burning.
