This book explains microbial roles for agricultural sustainability especially under climatic changes including role of microorganisms in sustainable agriculture. Major coverage entails role of microbial enzymatic roles in agriculture, microbial phytohormones as promising plant sustainable bioagents, phosphate, potassium and calcium solubilizing microbes as alternative bio-fertilizers. It introduces microbial solutions to mitigate the biotic and abiotic stress, with high attention to temperature rising, and water limitation due to the climatic changes.
- Present a summarized insight into important roles of microbes in facing the climatic changes
- Describes Plant-Microbes interaction in sustainability
- Highlights roles of microorganisms in limited agriculture water sources
- Provide an insight into Microbial phytohormones as promising plant-sustainable bioagent
- Comprehensive overviews of Microbial bioremediation roles for soil reclamation
This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in microbiology, agriculture and sustainability.
