Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil
Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil A far-reaching survey showcasing the improvements made to soil health in Brazil The maintenance of healthy soil resources provides the foundations for an array of global efforts and initiatives that affect humanity. Researchers, consultants, and farmers must be able to correctly examine and understand the complex nature of this essential, fragile resource. Soil Health and Sustainable Agriculture in Brazil provides a highly readable overview of the major cropping systems and management practices adopted in Brazil to improve soil health and sustain agricultural/forest production systems. Key Features Evolution of soil health concepts applied to...
Plant Microbe Symbiosis: Fundamentals and Advances
Plant microbe interaction is a complex relationship that can have various beneficial impacts on both the communities. An urgent need of today’s world is to get high crop yields in an ecofriendly manner. Utilization of beneficial and multifaceted plant growth promoting (PGP) microorganisms can solve the problem of getting enhanced yields without disturbing the ecosystem thus leading to sustainability. For this to achieve understanding of the intricate details of how the beneficial microbes form associations with the host plant and sustain that for millions of years must be known. A holistic approach is required wherein the diversity of microbes associated with plant and the network of mecha...
Microbes for Legume Improvement
This book presents in-depth insights into strategies involving plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), including symbiotic/asymbiotic nitrogen fixers and associative/endophyte bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microbes, as well as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their active biomolecules in legume production. It also examines the latest research findings on the taxonomic status of rhizobia and signal molecules affecting rhizobia-legume symbiosis to improve readers’ understanding of the cultivation of legumes in conventional and derelict soil. The agronomically important microflora broadly discussed have offered solutions to some of the problems associated with expensive fertilizers used in many production systems. This second edition provides an overview of metal toxicity to legumes and presents strategies for the abatement of metal toxicity to legumes. Aimed at professionals, practitioners, researchers and graduate students in microbiology, crop sciences, soil microbiology, biotechnology and environmental microbiology, the book focuses on the basic concepts and practical aspects of useful soil microbiota in legume production.
Phaseolus Lunatus
This book has been written in an attempt to advance people's knowledge on the Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) crop in tropical and sub-tropical regions. The Lima bean is an important species of plant for humans in tropical regions and its seeds are considered an important source of protein for people from South America, Africa, and Mexico. There is little information about the Lima bean crop regarding its origin, diversity, evolution, growth and production. This book encompasses nine chapters on the topic to provide a broad knowledge of this fascinating crop. The first three chapters cover the origin, diversity and evolution of the crop, including important information from Mexico and Brazil. ...
Plant Microbe Symbiosis
This book provides an overview of the latest advances concerning symbiotic relationships between plants and microbes, and their applications in plant productivity and agricultural sustainability. Symbiosis is a living phenomenon including dynamic variations in the genome, metabolism and signaling network, and adopting a multidirectional perspective on their interactions is required when studying symbiotic organisms. Although various plant-microbe symbiotic systems are covered in this book, it especially focuses on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis and root nodule symbiosis, the two most prevalent systems. AM symbiosis involves the most extensive interaction between plants and microbes, in...
Waste Management
Rapid urbanisation coupled with increasing populations has brought in new socio-economic and environmental problems in the world, particularly for third world countries. One such issue that requires urgent attention is the mounting waste problem, which has grown from being an annoyance for regional and local governments to an issue of national importance in many developing countries. Solid wastes are produced after waste-water treatment and their characteristics are influenced by anthropogenic activities. This book brings important information and results of new research with waste management in all of the world. In this volume there are contributions of experts from different countries. Each one of them shows interesting views about this fascinating and important subject.
Cerrado
Cerrado: capital natural e serviços ambientais, narra a importância do Bioma Cerrado e de sua conservação, através de compilado de textos de embasamento científico sobre o tema, a obra destaca ao longo de seus capítulos, em tom de denúncia e apelo, os principais danos e prejuízos ambientais, climáticos e até econômicos que resultam de sua degradação. Os autores também se preocupam em apontar caminhos que demonstrem otimismo e esperança no futuro sustentável e no combate a degradação de um dos maiores Biomas da América Latina.
Sistemas Conservacionistas de Recuperação de Pastagem Degradada
O livro Sistemas conservacionistas de recuperação de pastagem degradada aborda o principal problema da atualidade encontrado na pecuária brasileira, que são as áreas degradadas com baixa produção de animais e produtos, tendo como foco principal o uso de técnicas que já foram aprovadas pelos principais especialistas e pelos pecuaristas brasileiros. Todas as técnicas descritas neste livro já obtiveram êxito em recuperar áreas de pastagens degradadas de forma sustentável e duradoura. No livro os autores usam de uma linguagem objetiva de fácil compreensão, sendo uma leitura recomendada para pecuaristas, técnicos, profissionais e estudantes da área, além de admiradores do uso d...
