Microbes in Biotechnology and Sustainable Agriculture 

Microbes are an integral part of biogeochemical cycles which are important for our sustenance. A large number of these microbes are beneficial to plants, animals and humans in one form or the other but some are harmful as well. This book covers the wide-ranging aspects of the role of microbes in sustainable agriculture and biotechnological developments. Understanding how agricultural practices shift microbial abundance, diversity and life strategies, can assist with designing farming systems that can support high yields, while enhancing C sequestration and increasing resilience to climate change.
