This book provides a comprehensive source of information on
strategies and concepts of microbial technology especially
phosphate-solubilising microbes for the improvement of crops in
different agro-ecosystems. The book presents the biological
importance of phosphorus and strategies adopted for isolation and
screening of PSM (s), mechanisms of P solubilisation, mechanisms of
plant growth promotion, and method for the development of
microphos. Furthermore, some novel approaches including molecular
tools used to identify the potential phosphate-solubilising
microbes are presented. The recent advances in understanding the
genetics and molecular biology of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria
and the genetic engineering of bacterial strains with enhanced
phosphate-solubilising activity are discussed that is likely to
lead to improve the efficiency of microphos inoculants and crop
productivity. The problems, prospect and potentials of
phosphate-solubilising microbes and their impact on agronomically
important crops grown in conventional soils are discussed
separately. Special attention is paid to highlight the functional
variations within phosphate-solubilising microbes and to understand
the impact of various factors on the phosphate-solubilising
efficiency and colonization of such naturally occurring organisms.
The synergism between phosphate-solubilizing microbes and other
plant growth promoting rhizobacteria/arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
and their interactive effect on crop productivity is highlighted
separately. The book also presents a broad and updated view of the
management of plant diseases using phosphate-solubilising microbes.
The book further describes as to how the growth promoting
rhizobacteria facilitate plant growth and how advanced information
strategies can be used to manipulate and modify the soil
environment.
