New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revisiting Green Chemicals

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revisiting Green Chemicals discusses green technologies that help us understand how to reduce plant pathogens and induce plant growth in soil health. It covers the most commonly used green chemicals, including antioxidants, osmoprotectants, phytohormones, and more, presenting relevant information on how we can use microbial resources to get such chemicals and technologies to develop formulations for field application. This book offers reference material to chemical engineers, biochemist, agrochemist, industrialist, researcher and scientists working on sustainable agriculture. Highlights the latest developments in green technology in agriculture Overviews applied aspects of different green chemicals for crop production Identifies the importance and potential of green chemicals in manifold prospects INDICE: 1.
