درباره این کتاب:
This book provides a comprehensive
overview of the benefits of
biofertilizers as an alternative to
chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Agricultural production has increased
massively over the last century due to
increased use of chemical fertilizers
and pesticides, but these gains have
come at a price. The chemicals are not
only expensive; they also reduce
microbial activity in agricultural soils
and accumulate in the food chain, with
potentially harmful effects for humans.
Accordingly, it is high time to explore
alternatives and to find solutions to
overcome our increasing dependence on
these chemicals.
Biofertilizers, which consist of plant
remains, organic matter and
microorganisms, might offer an
alternative. They are natural, organic,
biodegradable, eco-friendly and
cost-effective. Further, the microbes
present in the biofertilizers are
important, because they produce
nutrients required for plant growth
(e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium),
as well as substances essential for
plant growth and development (e.g.,
auxins and cytokinins). Biofertilizers
also improve the physical properties,
fertility and productivity of soil,
reducing the need for chemical
fertilizers while maintaining high crop
yield. This makes biofertilizers a
powerful tool for sustainable
agriculture and a sustainable
environment.
The book covers the latest research on
biofertilizers, ranging from beneficial
fungal, bacterial and algal inoculants;
to microbes for bioremediation,
wastewater treatment; and recycling of
biodegradable municipal, agricultural
and industrial waste; as well as
biocontrol agents and bio-pesticides. As
such, it offers a valuable resource for
researchers, academics and students in
the broad fields of microbiology and
agriculture.
