The global population's food needs require advanced technology-based research to extract information from plant metabolism and microbial gene pools to improve plant health and productivity. Modern biotechnological tools have the potential to unlock agricultural practices' limitations, but their application is inadequate. Eco-friendly agriculture using microbial inoculants has positive effects on soil/plant health. Exploring plant-associated microbial niches, particularly endophytes, epiphytes, and soil microbes, can provide insights into developing sustainable agriculture practices. Consortia of microbes can be used as plant helpers to recover imbalanced agriculture systems and manage pathogenic diseases.
This book presents the latest updates on plant-associated microbiomes and their contemporary applications in agriculture and allied sectors. It covers the knowledge gap between soil and plant helper microbiomes and their use in sustainable crop production, disease management, and integrated pest management. Various chapters explore plant microbial interaction, soil fertility intensification, sustainable crop production, and disease management. The book also describes how beneficial microbiomes have been utilized for sustainable green farming, aiming to resolve the global food problem without harming soil and environment health.
This book is intended for everyone involved in agriculture, microbial biotechnology, bioinformatics, and related disciplines. It provides valuable insights into the latest advancements in microbiotechnology and its applications in agriculture, contributing to the development of sustainable and food-secure systems.
