Microbial Strategies for Vegetable Production

Abstract

Microbial Strategies for Vegetable Production edited by experts focuses on the fundamental and practical aspects of beneficial soil microbes employed commonly in the sustainable production of vegetables. This book further presents exceptional, simplified, and wide-ranging information on important soil microbiota which could be used to enhance the production of vegetables in different regions. The book deals with the application of microbial inoculants and many plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) including nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing organisms in vegetable production. Even though there is no direct connection between nitrogen-fixing organisms and vegetables as reported for rhizobia and legumes, yet the recent developments in the use of nitrogen-fixing, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in sustainable production of vegetables have been sufficiently discussed.
