Handbook of Microbial Biofertilizers

Herausgeber: Rai, Mahendra

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This first-of-its-kind handbook provides in-depth coverage of all major microbial biofertilizers (rhizobia, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and cyanobacteria), as well as new and emerging growth promoters (endophytes). It examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, bioprotectors, and bioremidiators, and presents protocols and practical strategies for using microbes in sustainable agriculture. Charts, tables, and figures make complex information easy to access and understand.
