The need for sustainable advancement in agriculture practices
continues to press. Achieving optimum yields of crops has
traditionally meant farmers continuously using large amounts of
chemical fertilizers or pesticides but the indiscriminate use of
these pesticides has adversely affected the environment, non-
target microorganisms, soil textures and human health. Sustainable
Agricultural Practices, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome
series, presents foundational information into the successful
utilization of different biocontrol agents (especially bacteria and
fungi actinomycetes) under field conditions which can help relieve
the pressure of overexploitation of synthetic pesticides in
agriculture. As many of the microorganisms including nitrogen
fixing bacteria and cyanobacteria can be used as bio inoculants,
they offer opportunities to not only to enhance the crop
productivity but also for maintaining the natural properties of
agricultural soils. The volume explores the multifaceted benefits
derived from varieties of microorganisms existing in different
components of ecosystem, many of which could potentially be
employed as probiotics for improved human and livestock health.
Researchers seeking to expand their understanding of related
fields, and students seeking foundational concept coverage will
find this volume valuable.
