Aspects of Soil and Agricultural Microbiology

Description

The environmental, agricultural, medical, and industrial areas all heavily rely on the science of microbiology. This book covers a variety of topics in soil and agricultural microbiology. For the growth and development of many microorganisms, soil biology is an excellent culture medium. Land-use modification and system health indicators should be soil microorganisms since they control system functioning through nutrient cycling and decomposition, just like microorganisms and fungi do. Plant-associated bacteria and illnesses of plants and animals are the focus of agricultural microbiology, a subfield of microbiology. The microbiology of soil fertility is also covered, including the microbial oxidation of organic materials and the alteration of soil nutrients. A field of study focused on bacteria connected to plants is known as agricultural microbiology. It seeks to solve issues with agricultural methods typically brought about by a dearth of biodiversity in microbial populations. Understanding the important microbial strains for agricultural applications can improve various aspects, including soil nutrients, plant disease resistance, crop robustness, fertilizer uptake efficiency, and more. With the help of biotechnological methods, our nation needs to increase crop productivity and protection.
