Description
About the Book
Soil microbiology is the study of microorganisms in the soil and their roles in soil ecology and fertility. It focuses on understanding how these microorganisms influence soil properties and contribute to soil fertility. Soil microbes are classified into various groups, including bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, and actinomycetes, each with distinct characteristics and functions within the soil ecosystem. These microbes enhance soil fertility by enriching it with nutrients and minerals, producing growth-promoting hormones, and stimulating the plant immune system. Healthy soils foster fertility through processes such as nutrient cycling, nitrogen fixation, and pest and disease suppression. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to modern soil microbiology. Such selected concepts that redefine this discipline have been presented here. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.Book Synopsis
