Microbial Inoculants: Soil Dynamics and Nutrient Bioavailability

Microbial Inoculants: Soil Dynamics and Nutrient Bioavailability presents foundational and recent information on the use of these multi-purpose living microorganisms that can act as biostimulants or biocontrol agents. Isolated from soil, plants, water and other organic materials, microbial inoculants include fungi, bacteria and microalgae among others. As an alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, microbial inoculants are increasingly important to the conservation of soil while enabling improved plant health and crop yield. Microbial Inoculants, a volume in the Plant and Soil Microbiome series, presents the range of potential applications in both agricultural and environmental practice through the nexus of plant and soil. Includes perspectives from soil and plant nutrient impactPresents development of dynamic network modeling with new experimental designs and techniquesEmphasizes the diverse function of plant-associated microbiomes INDICE: 1.
