PGPR Amelioration in Sustainable Agriculture: Food Security and
Environmental Management explores the growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) that are indigenous to soil and plant
rhizosphere. These microorganisms have significant potential as
important tools for sustainable agriculture. PGPR enhance the
growth of root systems and often control certain plant pathogens.
As PGPR amelioration is a fascinating subject, is multidisciplinary
in nature, and concerns scientists involved in plant heath and
plant protection, this book is an ideal resource that emphasizes
the current trends of, and probable future of, PGPR developments.
Chapters incorporate both theoretical and practical aspects and may
serve as baseline information for future research. This book will
be useful to students, teachers and researchers, both in
universities and research institutes, especially working in areas
of agricultural microbiology, plant pathology and agronomy.
This book is a comprehensive account of recent advances in the
endophytic research. It covers recent perspective of endophytic
research, molecular diversity, bioprospecting of novel genes using
high throughput molecular techniques, and most importantly
application of endophytes in practicing sustainable agriculture.
Endophytic micro-organisms are mysterious living component
associated mutually with plant roots and soil microbes. Various
endophytic bacteria have attracted considerable attention for their
ability to promote plant growth through direct mechanisms or by
acting as biocontrol agents. Endophytes also find use in
biocontrol, medicine, agriculture and food industry. This is a
useful reading for the student of agriculture, environmental
microbiology and biotechnology.
Role of Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms in Sustainable
Agriculture and Nanotechnology explores PGPMs (actinomycetes,
bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria) and their multidimensional roles
in agriculture, including their increasing applications in
sustainable agriculture. In addition to their traditional
understanding and applications in agriculture, PGPMs are
increasingly known as a source of nano-particles production that
are gaining significant interest in their ability to provide more
economically, environmentally friendly and safe technologies to
crop growers. The book considers new concepts and current
developments in plant growth, thus promoting microorganisms
research and evaluating its implications for sustainable
productivity. Users will find this to be an invaluable resource for
researchers in applied microbial biotechnology, soil science,
nano-technology of microbial strains, and industry personnel in
these areas.
Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems explains the causative
factors of climate change related to agriculture, soil and plants,
and discusses the relevant resulting mitigation process.
Agricultural ecosystems include factors from the surrounding areas
where agriculture experiences direct or indirect interaction with
the plants, animals, and microbes present. Changes in climatic
conditions influence all the factors of agricultural ecosystems,
which can potentially adversely affect their productivity. This
book summarizes the different aspects of vulnerability, adaptation,
and amelioration of climate change in respect to plants, crops,
soil, and microbes for the sustainability of the agricultural
sector and, ultimately, food security for the future. It also
focuses on the utilization of information technology for the
sustainability of the agricultural sector along with the capacity
and adaptability of agricultural societies under climate change.
Climate Change and Agricultural Ecosystems incorporates both
theoretical and practical aspects, and serves as base line
information for future research. This book is a valuable resource
for those working in environmental sciences, soil sciences,
agricultural microbiology, plant pathology, and agronomy.
