With the recent shift of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to
organic agriculture, the employment of microbes that perform
significant beneficial functions for plants has been highlighted.
This book presents timely discussion and coverage on the use of
microbial formulations, which range from powdered or charcoal-based
to solution and secondary metabolite-based bioformulations.
Bioformulation development of biofertilizers and biopesticides
coupled with the advantages of nanobiotechnology propose
significant applications in the agricultural section including
nanobiosensors, nanoherbicides, and smart transport systems for the
regulated release of agrochemical. Moreover, the formulation of
secondary metabolites against individual phytopathogens could be
used irrespective of geographical positions with higher disease
incidences. The prospective advantages and uses of
nanobiotechnology generate tremendous interest, as it could augment
production of agricultural produce while being cost-effective both
energetically and economically. This bioformulation approach is
incomparable to existing technology, as the bioformulation would
explicitly target the particular pathogen without harming the
natural microbiome of the ecosystem. Nanobiotechnology in
Bioformulations covers the constraints associated with large-scale
development and commercialization of bioinoculant formations.
Furthermore, exclusive emphasis is be placed on next-generation
efficient bioinoculants having secondary metabolite formulations
with longer shelf life and advanced competence against several
phytopathogens. Valuable chapters deal with bioformulation
strategies that use divergent groups of the microbiome and include
detailed diagrammatic and pictorial representation. This book will
be highly beneficial for both experts and novices in the fields of
microbial bioformulation, nanotechnology, and
nano-microbiotechnology. It discusses the prevailing status and
applications available for microbial researchers and scientists,
agronomists, students, environmentalists, agriculturists, and
agribusiness professionals, as well as to anyone devoted to
sustaining the ecosystem.
