This is the first handbook that covers all aspects of
bio-inoculants used in degraded lands to improve soil fertility and
crop productivity as well as for the remediation of polluted lands.
It discusses all novel sustainable approaches for the reclamation
of problematic soils. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this
book explores the recent uses of plant microbe interactions in
ecological and agricultural revitalization beyond normal
agriculture practices and offers practical and applied solutions
for the restoration of degraded lands for food, fodder, fuel and
fiber security. Provides a single comprehensive platform for soil
scientist, agriculture specialists, ecologists, and others.
Microorganisms are a good indicator of soil health. Plant
growth-promoting microorganisms protect plants from the stresses of
water, salt, metal, biotic, and so on, and are well known for
strategically modulating the plant mechanisms to defend and
mitigate environmental stresses. Taking a multidisciplinary
approach, this volume explores the role of plant microorganisms in
ecological and agricultural revitalization beyond normal
agriculture practices and offers practical and applied solutions
for the restoration of degraded lands to fulfill human needs with
food, fodder, fuel, and fiber. It also provides a single
comprehensive platform for soil scientists, agriculture
specialists, ecologists, and those in related disciplines. Features
* Presents cutting-edge microbial biotechnology as a tool for
restoring degraded lands * Explores the aspects of sustainable
development of degraded lands using microorganism-inspired land
remediation * Highlights sustainable food production
intensification in nutrient-poor lands through innovative use of
microbial inoculants * Explains the remediation of polluted land
for regaining biodiversity and achieving United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals * Includes many real-life applications from South
Asia offering solutions to today's agricultural problems This book
will be of interest to professionals, researchers, and students in
environmental, soil, and agricultural sciences as well as
stakeholders, policy makers, and practitioners with an interest in
this field.
Plant-microbe interaction is a powerful and promising link to
mitigate the various kinds of stresses like drought, salinity,
heavy metals, and pathogenic effects. It is more beneficial for
crop improvement and sustainable approaches for reclamation of
problematic soils. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this book
explores the recent uses of plant-microbe interactions in
ecological and agricultural revitalization beyond normal
agriculture practices and offers practical and applied solutions
for the restoration of degraded land to fulfill human needs with
food, fodder, fuel, and fiber. It provides a single comprehensive
platform for soil scientists, agriculture specialists, ecologists,
