The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such asthe diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gainingworldwide importance. “Bacteria in Agrobiology: Plant Nutrient Management” focus on the management of plant nutrient to support plant growth and development. Treated are topics such as zinc and phosphate solubilizing microorganism, sulfur oxidizing bacteria, denitrification, siderophores, phytohormones, quorum-sensing, biofilms, plant diseases, and plant pathogens. Gives a modern approach to the various facets of plant growth promoting and associative bacteria. A valuable source of information for scientists in agriculture, agronomy, microbiology, botany, environmental sciences and soil biology. Written by renowned scientists.
