Book Chapter Description

Among the biological sciences, microbiology is well established and related with various fields in the present era. Agricultural microbiology is a blooming research field emerging from the intersection of general microbiology and microbial ecology to the agricultural biotechnologies. The ultimate aim of agricultural microbiology is a wide-ranging study of beneficial bacteria and fungi interacting with agriculturally important plants, thereby meeting the global demand of food in an eco-friendly manner. Our aim is to torch the current status and application of microbiology in modern agriculture. The present chapter gives an overall view about the role of microbiology in sustainable agriculture and also discusses effective microorganisms, rhizosphere, mycorrhizal fungi, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, impact of microbes on soil properties, synthetic biology, microbes as elicitors, microbes in stress agriculture, and climate smart agriculture.
