Role of Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture and Nanotechnology

Role of Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture and Nanotechnology explores PGPMs (actinomycetes, bacteria fungi, cyanobacteria) and their multidimensional roles in agriculture, including their increasing applications in sustainable agriculture. In addition to the traditional understanding and application in agriculture, PGPM are increasingly known as a source of nano-particles production and are gaining significant interest for exploiting the ability of agriculturally important microorganisms in providing more economically, environmentally friendly and safe technologies to the crop growers. This book considers new concepts and current development in plant growth promoting microorganisms research and evaluates the implications for sustainable productivity. It is an invaluable resource for researchers in applied microbial biotechnology, soil science, nano-technology of microbial strains and also for industry personnel in these areas.
