Advances in Agricultural Microbiology
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.
Soil Microbiology
This book is a revised edition of Soil Microorganisms and Plant Growth. The new edition will prove useful to students and teachers dealing with Agriculture in general, Soil Science, Agricultural Microbiology, and Environmental Science in particular because the book has been made comprehensive on all aspects dealing with issues relating to soil fertility, soil health, and plant growth in relation to microbial activity. Contents: Introduction / Soil, the Natural Medium for Plant Growth / Soil Microorganisms / The Rhizosphere and the Phyllosphere / Nitrogen Fixation in Free-living and Associative Symbiotic Bacteria / Nitrogen Fixation by Free-living Blue-Green Algae / Nitrogen Fixation by Symbiotic Blue-Green Algae / Rhizobium and Legume Root Nodulation / Actinorhizal Plants (Frankia-Induced Nodulation) / Organic Matter Decomposition / Nitrification and Denitrification / Microbial Products Influencing Plant Growth / Sulphur, Phosphorus and Trace Element Nutrition / Biodegradation of Pesticides and Pollutants / Mycorrhizae / Biotechnology in Agriculture
AGRICULTURAL MICROBIOLOGY
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.
Microbial Interactions in Agriculture and Forestry
Molecular microbiological studies have focused attention on the characterization of known and unknown bacterial species implicated in plant growth. This text explores the microbial interactions relevant in agriculture and forestry.
South Asian Languages
Explores the similarities and differences of about forty South Asian languages from the four different language families.
Biotechnology of Biofertilizers
This volume is written with the objective of covering the basic issues in biological nitrogen fixation such as: the physiology, biochemistry and molecular genetics of nitrogen fixation; and the role of signal molecules and host gene expression in nodulation and nitrogen fixation. The book also details recent developments in biofertilizer technology, such as: the immobilization of cyanobacteria; endophytic nitrogen fixation; and solubilization and mobilization of nutrients by phosphobacteria and VA mycorrhiza and their role as bioinoculants.
