This book is the study of microbes and the fundamental aspects of microorganisms and their relationship to agriculture. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture and biology, this basic and well illustrated text provides a comprehensive presentation of microorganisms. The book begins with some basic information on micro- organisms including methods of study and classification. It then goes on to describe their morphology, physiology, biochemistry and genetics. A discussion on soil micro-organisms along with pathogenic forms and their effect on plants is also given. The text concludes with a fairly detailed account of microbial biotechnology which covers most of the recent advances in the area. This is the second edition of the author's highly successful earlier edition for which Dr. Selman A. Waksman, dis-coverer of Streptomycin, write the Foreword. The author worked with this Nobel Laureate at Rutgers State University.
Advances in Agricultural Microbiology is a collection of papers about the progresses in the field of agricultural microbiology. The said papers are contributions of different experts in related fields. The book is divided into three sections. Section A covers topics related to the role of microorganisms in the mobilization of nutrients for plant growth such as the relationship of microbial genetics and biological nitrogen; plant surface microflora and plant nutrition; and developments in grass-bacteria associations. Section B discusses the use of microorganisms in the management of pathogens, pests, and weeds and includes topics such as the microbial control of insect pests; microbial herbicides; and agricultural antibiotics. Section C tackles strategies in bioconversion such as the production of biogas from agricultural wastes; bioconversion of lignocelluloses into protein-rich food and feed; and ethanol fuel from biomass. The text is recommended for biologists and agriculturists who would like to know more about the importance of microorganisms in the field of agriculture.
Environmental and Agricultural Microbiology Uniquely reveals the state-of-the-art microbial research/advances in the environment and agriculture fields Environmental and Agricultural Microbiology: Applications for Sustainability is divided into two parts which embody chapters on sustenance and life cycles of microorganisms in various environmental conditions, their dispersal, interactions with other inhabited communities, metabolite production, and reclamation. Though books pertaining to soil & agricultural microbiology/environmental biotechnology are available, there is a dearth of comprehensive literature on the behavior of microorganisms in the environmental and agricultural realm. Part 1...
This text book is written keeping in mind the contents of the syllabus of the course ‘Agricultural Microbiology’ taught in BSc.(Ag) degree program all over the country as the syllabus is approved in Deans’ committee at ICAR level. The book will be useful for students and the teachers teaching the course. The book has five sections namely basics of microbiology which deals with fundamental principles of general microbiology. Section two covers ecology of soil biota and organisms in soil liter interfaces. Third section is biogeochemical cycles of plant nutrients discussing microbiological transformation of important plant nutrients and their movement in the soil constituents. Fourth sect...
This volume details techniques involved in the study of beneficial microbes in agricultural microbiology towards enhancing global agricultural productivity. Chapters cover a wide range of basic and advanced techniques associated with research on isolation of agriculturally important microbes, identification, biological nitrogen fixation, microbe mediated plant nutrient use efficiency, biological control of plant diseases and pests. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Practical Handbook on Agricultural Microbiology aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
"The Basics of Agricultural Microbiology" delves into one of the most crucial topics in agriculture and science. Understanding soil fertility and microbial interactions is essential for anyone connected to farming. This book provides detailed insights into agricultural microbiology, helping protect crops from harmful pests and diseases to boost productivity. We cover the development of microbiology, from foundational concepts to advanced topics, ensuring comprehensive knowledge. The book explores microbial activities, their role in agriculture, and detailed information about bacteria and pathogens. Written in simple and reader-friendly language, this book is a complete package of knowledge in microbiology and biotechnology. It serves as an invaluable guide for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of agriculture and its microbial aspects.
This book is about the study of microbes and the fundamental aspects of microorganisms and their relationship to agriculture. This essential and well-illustrated work is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture and biology, and it gives a comprehensive explanation of microorganisms. The book "Agricultural Microbiology" was written with a broad perspective in mind. This book was created with the diversity of the course's study materials and the students' established on the basis of consideration.
