Numerous agricultural activities and techniques have been developed to raise annual crop production globally. While agriculture has succeeded in enhancing the yearly crop productivity, this achievement is at the cost of environmental degradation by applying synthetic persistent substances, such as industrial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Chemical fertilizers are nearly as destructive as they are productive, causing monocultures and consequences associated with elimination of diversity, nutrient pollution as evidenced by algae blooms, eutrophication, water quality issues, lower oxygen levels and dangers to fish stocks. Therefore, the scientific approach to maintain sustainable fertility in soil and plants is to switch over to biofertilisers. Biofertilisers are compounds of organic matter that are applied to crops for growth and health. Their constituent micro-organisms interact in an ecofriendly manner with the soil, root and seeds of plants, promoting the growth of micro-flora that enhances soil fertility. They are known to play a number of vital roles in soil fertility, crop productivity and production in agriculture. Application of biofertilisers results in increased mineral and water uptake, root development, vegetative growth and nitrogen fixation. They liberate growth promoting substances and vitamins and help to maintain soil fertility. They act as antagonists and play a pivotal role in neutralising the soil borne plant pathogens, thereby assisting in the bio-control of diseases. Application of biofertilisers in lieu of synthetic fertilizers could be the promising technique to raise agricultural productivity without degrading the environmental quality. The present book focuses on the latest research approaches and updates from the microbiota ecosystem and their applications in agriculture industry. It also highlights the great potential and possible future of action of microbiota in the development of sustainable agricultural systems. 001433162 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 24, 2021). 001433162 650_0 $$aBiofertilizers. 001433162 650_0 $$aSoil microbiology. 001433162 650_0 $$aPlant ecology. 001433162 650_0 $$aSoil science. 001433162 650_0 $$aSoil conservation. 001433162 650_0 $$aConservation biology. 001433162 650_0 $$aEcology. 001433162 650_0 $$aAgriculture. 001433162 650_0 $$aEnvironmental engineering. 001433162 650_0 $$aBiotechnology. 001433162 650_6 $$aBiofertilisants. 001433162 650_6 $$aSols$$xMicrobiologie. 001433162 650_6 $$aÉcologie végétale. 001433162 650_6 $$aPédologie. 001433162 650_6 $$aSols$$xConservation. 001433162 650_6 $$aBiologie de la conservation. 001433162 650_6 $$aAgriculture. 001433162 650_6 $$aTechnique de l'environnement. 001433162 650_6 $$aBiotechnologie. 001433162 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433162 7001_ $$aHakeem, Khalid Rehman,$$eeditor. 001433162 7001_ $$aDar, Gowhar Hamid,$$eeditor. 001433162 7001_ $$aMehmood, Mohammad Aneesul,$$eeditor. 001433162 7001_ $$aBhat, Rouf Ahmad,$$d1981-$$eeditor. 001433162 77608 $$z3030487709 001433162 852__ $$bebk 001433162 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-48771-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433162 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433162$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433162 980__ $$aBIB 001433162 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433162 982__ $$aEbook 001433162 983__ $$aOnline 001433162 994__ $$a92$$bISE
