This book presents in-depth insights into strategies involving microbes, including bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, and their produced biomolecules in vegetable production. Aimed at researchers and graduate students in Horticulture, Microbiology, Biotechnology and Crop Sciences the book presents an overview on the basic concepts of beneficial microorganism application in agriculture. Beneficial soil microbiota including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), phosphate solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have provided some solutions to the problems of high cost chemical fertilizers. Apart from supplying major (N and P) and micro nutrients to growing vegetables, such groups of microbes also produce plant growth promoting hormones, and protect plants from phyto-pathogens. The book summarizes latest research results on plant- microorganism associations and maximizes the reader’s insight into the management of vegetable diseases using soil microflora.
