With contributions from a broad range of experts in the field, this
volume, Microbiology for Sustainable Agriculture, Soil Health, and
Environmental Protection, focuses on important areas of
microbiology related to soil and environmental microbiology
associated with agricultural importance. The information and
research on soil and environmental microbiology presented here
seeks to act as a gateway to sustaining and improving agriculture
and environmental security. Part I focuses on soil microbiology,
dealing extensively with studies on the isolation, culture, and use
of Rhizobium spp. and mycorrhizae to improve soil fertility, plant
growth, and yield. This includes research progress on
biogeochemical cycles, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR),
microbial interactions in soil and other soil activities, microbial
diversity in soil, biological control and bioremediation, and
improvement of beneficial microorganisms (N2 fixers, phosphate
solubilizers, etc.). Part 2 goes on to focus on microbiology for
crop disease management and pathogenic control in sustainable
environment, with chapters on disease management of agricultural
and horticultural crop plants through microbial control and how
microbial control may a be a potential solution for a
sustainability in agriculture. Part 3, Microbiology for Soil Health
and Crop Productivity Improvement, features a chapter on the
activity and mechanism of nitrogenase enzyme in soil, which is very
important for soil health and crop production and productivity.
Part 4 presents two chapters entirely devoted to the environmental
pollution and its control, looking at the interaction of microbes
in aqueous environments and eco-friendly approaches. There is an
urgent need to explore and investigate the current shortcomings and
challenges of the current innovations and challenges in
agricultural microbiology. This book helps to fill that need. This
volume will be valuable to those involved with agricultural
microbiology, including students, instructors, and researchers.
