商品描述

Sustainable agriculture is at a critical crossroads as global food demand rises alongside challenges such as soil degradation, climate change, and declining resource efficiency. Sustainable Agri-Productivity: A Roadmap to Hunger Alleviation using Beneficial Microbes addresses these pressing concerns by presenting microbes as key drivers of resilient and productive agroecosystems. This book aims to bridge the gap between fundamental microbial science and its practical applications in agriculture.

This volume stands out by offering a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, integrating crop productivity, soil health management, and emerging biotechnological innovations. It provides insights into how beneficial microbes can enhance nutrient availability, improve stress tolerance, and restore ecological balance across diverse farming systems, including stress-prone environments such as saline and arid regions.

Key Features:

  • Role of beneficial microbes in major crops including cereals, legumes, and horticultural systems
  • Microbial approaches for improving soil fertility and nutrient cycling
  • Strategies for managing saline, arid, and water-limited agricultural conditions
  • Advances in plant microbiome research and microbial biotechnology
  • Application of precision agriculture and genome-based microbial interventions
  • Development and use of biofertilizers and sustainable input systems

Overall, this book serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers, academicians, policymakers, and students in agriculture and allied sciences. It is also valuable for extension professionals and practitioners seeking sustainable, microbe-based solutions for enhancing productivity and ensuring global food security.
