This book describes the multitude of interactions between plant,
soil, and micro-organisms. It emphasizes on how growth and
development in plants, starting from seed germination, is heavily
influenced by the soil type. It describes the interactions
established by plants with soil and inhabitant microbial community.
The chapters describe how plants selectively promote certain
microorganisms in the rhizospheric ecozone to derive multifarious
benefits such as nutrient acquisition and protection from diseases.
The diversity of these rhizospheric microbes and their interactions
with plants largely depend on plant genotype, soils attributes, and
several abiotic and biotic factors. Most of the studies concerned
with plant-microbe interaction are focused on temperate regions,
even though the tropical ecosystems are more diverse and need more
attention. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how soil type and
climatic conditions influence the plant-soil-microbes interaction
in the tropics. Considering the significance of the subject, the
present volume is designed to cover the most relevant aspects of
rhizospheric microbial interactions in tropical ecosystems.
Chapters include aspects related to the diversity of rhizospheric
microbes, as well as modern tools and techniques to assess the
rhizospheric microbiomes and their functional roles. The book also
covers applications of rhizospheric microbes and evaluation of
prospects improving agricultural practice and productivity through

Micro and Nanofluid Convection with Magnetic Field Effects for Heat
and Mass Transfer Applications using MATLAB (R) examines the
performance of micro and nanofluids with various physical effects
such as magnetic field, slip effects, radiation and heat sources.
Heat and mass transfer enhancement techniques are widely used in
many applications in the heating and cooling or freezing process to
make possible a reduction in weight and size or enhance performance
during heat and mass exchanges. The book covers the two categories
of flow techniques, active and passive. It discusses various
considerations in the engineering sciences in the melting process,
polymer industry and in metallurgy. To be more precise, it may be
pointed out that many metal surgical developments involve the
cooling of continuous strips or filaments by drawing them through a
quiescent fluid, and in that process of drawing, these strips are
sometimes stretched. In all these cases, the properties of the
final product depend, to a great extent, on the rate of cooling by
drawing such strips in an electrically conducting fluid subject to
a magnetic field and thermal radiation.
