Microorganisms play a crucial role in assessing the health of soil, as they are essential indicators of soil quality and fertility. These tiny organisms, which include bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, have a profound impact on plant growth and development. Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) are particularly beneficial as they protect plants from various environmental stresses, such as water scarcity, salt stress, metal toxicity, and biotic stresses. By strategically modulating plant mechanisms, PGPMs help plants defend themselves against these stresses and mitigate their negative effects.
A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to fully understand the role of plant microorganisms in ecological and agricultural revitalization. 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. It provides a comprehensive platform for soil scientists, agriculture specialists, ecologists, and those in related disciplines to collaborate and exchange knowledge.
One of the key features of this volume is its focus on microbial biotechnology as a tool for restoring degraded lands. Microbial biotechnology involves the use of microorganisms to enhance soil fertility, promote plant growth, and remediate polluted environments. The book discusses the aspects of sustainable development of degraded lands using microorganism-inspired land remediation techniques. It highlights sustainable food production intensification in nutrient-poor lands through innovative use of microbial inoculants. The remediation of polluted land for regaining biodiversity and achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is also explored.
Numerous real-life applications from South Asia are included in the book, offering solutions to todays agricultural problems. These applications demonstrate the potential of PGPMs and microbial biotechnology in improving crop yields, reducing soil erosion, and promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
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. It provides valuable insights into the role of plant microorganisms in ecological and agricultural revitalization and offers practical solutions for restoring degraded lands.
