| Summary: | New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Microbes in Soil, Crop and Environmental Sustainability reviews the exploitation of microbial biodiversity in soil with respect to nutrient-use efficiency, also discussing the improvement and maintenance of certain physical and chemical conditions in soil that can provide economic and environmental benefits toward agricultural sustainability. The utilization of microbes ranges from applications in biotechnology, marginal land restoration, the formulation of microbial inoculants, the enhancement of crop productivity, and the mitigation of global warming gases. Finally, various uses for microbial resources in crop disease management, bioenergy production, and income based on microbial cultivation are explored.- Highlights the developments and achievements of microbial resources and their role in the sustainable management of soil fertility and agriculture productivity- Outlines the role of microbial resource and biotechnology in sustainability to industry, agriculture, forest and management of environment- Provides up-to-date information on the application of microbial resources and the role of biotechnology to meet the ever increasing demand of food, soil and plant productivity management- Outlines enhancement in productivity through interventions of microbial bio-agents and eco-friendly technology |
