This book is a compilation of case studies from different countries
and covers contemporary with future prospective for sustainable
development of agriculture. The book highlights the real-world as
well as future generation situations facing the challenges for the
twenty first century will be production of sufficient food and
highlights the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities, to meet the
needs of fast growing population it is imperative to increase
agricultural productivity in an environmentally sustainable manner.
Due to imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers and agrochemicals has
a considerable negative impact on economy and environmental
sustainability of nation, for the sustainable alternative means to
solve these problems, the efficient utilization of biological
agents have been extensively studied. Naturally existing
plant-microbe-environment interactions are utilized in many ways
for enhancing plant productivity. A greater understanding of how
plants and microbes live together and benefit each other can
therefore provide new strategies to improve plant productivity, in
most sustainable way. To achieve the objective of sustainable
agricultural practices there is a need for understanding both basic
and applied aspects of agriculturally important microorganisms.
Focus needs to be on transforming agricultural systems from
nutrient deficient to nutrient rich soil-plant system. This book is
split into two parts, with an aim to provide comprehensive
description and highlight a holistic approach. It elucidated
various mechanisms of nutrients solubilisation and its importance
in enhancement of plant growth, nutrient content, yield of various
crops and vegetables as well as soil fertility and health. Unit-1
in this book explains the importance of soil microbes in
sustainable crop production. It contains chapters detailing the
role and mechanism of action of soil microbes which enhances the
productivity via various bio-chemical and molecular channe ls. In
unit-2 the role of microbes in plant protection is elaborated. With
the help of case studies of food crops, multiple ways in which soil
microbes help in fighting and preventing plant diseases is
explained. With the given content and layout book will be an
all-inclusive collection of information, which will be useful for
students, academicians, researchers working in the field of
rhizospheric mechanisms, agricultural microbiology, soil
microbiology, biotechnology, agronomy and sustainable agriculture
and also for policy makers in the area of food security and
sustainable agriculture.
