How to achieve sustainable agricultural production without
compromising environmental quality, agro-ecosystem function and
biodiversity is a serious consideration in current agricultural
practices. Farming systems' growing dependency on chemical inputs
(fertilizers, pesticides, nutrients etc.) poses serious threats
with regard to crop productivity, soil fertility, the nutritional
value of farm produce, management of pests and diseases,
agro-ecosystem well-being, and health issues for humans and
animals. At the same time, microbial inoculants in the form of
biofertilizers, plant growth promoters, biopesticides, soil health
managers, etc. have gained considerable attention among
researchers, agriculturists, farmers and policy makers. The first
volume of the book Microbial Inoculants in Sustainable Agricultural
Productivity - Research Perspectives highlights the efforts of
global experts with regard to various aspects of microbial
inoculants. Emphasis is placed on recent advances in
microbiological techniques for the isolation, characterization,
identification and evaluation of functional properties using
biochemical and molecular tools. The taxonomic characterization of
agriculturally important microorganisms is documented, along with
their applications in field conditions. The book exploresthe
identification, characterization and diversity analysis of
endophytic microorganisms in various crops including legumes/
non-legumes, as well as the assessment of their beneficial impacts
in the context of promotingplant growth. Moreover, it provides
essential updates onthe diversity and role of plant growth
promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Further chaptersexamine in
detailbiopesticides, thehigh-density cultivation of bioinoculants
in submerged culture, seed biopriming strategies for abiotic and
biotic stress tolerance, andPGPR as abio-control agent. Given its
content,the book offers a valuable resource for researchers
involved in research and development concerningPGPR, biopesticides
and microbial inoculants.
