This book describes the contributions of rhizotrophs - microbes
associated with the parts of plants below ground - in sustainable
agriculture. It covers a broad range of aspects, from plant growth
promotion to bioremediation. It highlights the role of bacteria,
actinomycetes, mycorrhizal fungi, and most interestingly protists,
in the sustainability of agriculture. Further, it addresses in
detail the involvement of quorum sensing signals, and the role of
hydrolytic enzymes and bacteriocin in combating the phytopathogen.
The book sheds light on the interaction of rhizotrophs in
rhizosphere and how these microbes support plants growing under
adverse stress conditions such as saline, drought or heavy-metals
contamination. Challenges faced in the field application of these
microbes, strategies for modifying the rhizosphere to improve crop
yield, and the latest advances in rhizobial bioformulations are
also discussed. Overall, the book provides comprehensive
information on how various microbes can be used to improve the
sustainability of agriculture without disturbing the environment.
