This book addresses basic and applied aspects of two nexus points
of microorganisms in agro-ecosystems, namely their functional role
as bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides. Readers will find detailed
information on all of the aspects that are required to make a
microbe "agriculturally beneficial." A healthy, balanced soil
ecosystem provides a habitat for crops to grow without the need for
interventions such as agro-chemicals. No organism in an
agro-ecosystem can flourish individually, which is why research on
the interaction of microorganisms with higher forms of life has
increasingly gained momentum in the last 10-15 years. In fact, most
of plants' life processes only become possible through interactions
with microorganisms. Using these "little helpers" as a biological
alternative to agro-chemicals is a highly contemporary field of
research. The information presented here is based on the authors'
extensive experience in the subject area, gathered in the course of
their careers in the field of agricultural microbiology. The book
offers a valuable resource for all readers who are actively
involved in research on agriculturally beneficial microorganisms.
In addition, it will help prepare readers for the future challenges
that climate change will pose for agriculture and will help to
bridge the current gaps between different scientific communities.
