Textbook of Microbial Biofertilizers and Their Applications

Description

Agriculture practices across the world have changed a lot with the time, when we see back into time, major breakthroughs have been reported after green revolution, but it has also lead to the excessive use of synthetic fertilizers, now which are a major concern for us as they are polluting our soil and environment, not only they are destroying our soil health but also impacting severe health hazards in humans and animals. Bio-fertilizers are microorganisms that improve soil nutrient quality. Have you ever heard the words fertilizers or manure? Do you understand why we use Microbes as Bio-fertilizers? Fertilizers are a natural or synthetic blend of several chemicals used to promote soil fertility. However, you should be aware that these chemicals also pollute the environment. What should be done then? We have started practising organic farming. Organic farming is improving pollutant-free crop production. It entails the use of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides to improve crop nutrient quality and control pests and pathogens. This book “Textbook of Microbial Bio-fertilizers and Their Applications” details on the role of Microbes as Bio-fertilizers. It will be useful content for students, teachers as well as agriculturists.
