It examines the role of microbes in growth promotion, bioprotectors, and bioremidiators, and presents protocols and practical strategies for using microbes in sustainable agriculture. An abundance of helpful charts, tables, and figures make complex information easy to access and understand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this first-of-its-kind volume, contributors from 11 countries and several continents address important issues surrounding microbial biofertilizers, including: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the rhizobium-host-arbuscular mycorrhizal tripartite relationship\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e mycorrhiza as a disease suppresser and stress reducer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e mycorrhiza helping bacteria\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the impact of functional groups of soil microorganisms on nutrient turnover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e PBPRs as biofertilizers and biopesticides\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the potential of wild-legume rhizobia for use as a biofertilizers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the expanding role of blue-green algae in sustainable agriculture\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the role of microbial fertilizers in sustainable plant production\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e new and emerging endophytes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the commercial potential of biofertilizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eIn this young century, the use of biofertilizers is already growing rapidly.
