Book Chapter Description

Bioinoculants have been known to promote plant growth and grain yield by more than one mechanism, though it has been difficult to pinpoint them. The contribution of the impact exerted by these live microorganisms on the resident rhizospheric microbial community functioning in enhancing plant growth cannot be ruled out. The chapter aims to critically evaluate the studies that throw light on such non-target effects of bioinoculants and to bring out the existing research gaps in the area. Also, markers and methodologies, which could be good indicators of soil functioning, have been highlighted for the benefit of workers probing into similar problems.
