Elsevier New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revitalization through Organic Products

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revitalization through Organic Products provides a comprehensive overview of different organic products which work as plant biostimulants, i.e., protein hydrolysates, chitosan, microbial derived exopolysaccharides, pectin, nanoparticles, etc. In addition, detailed insights in their mechanisms for plant growth promotion and stress alleviation are covered. This volume further discusses the extraction and formulation of organic products for use in sustainable agriculture. The application of microbial derived secondary metabolites in crop protection is also extensively covered. This book will be ideal for agrochemists, biotechnologists, biochemists, industrialists, researchers and scientists working on organic farming.

This volume further discusses about the extraction and formulation of organic products for contribution in sustainable agriculture. Some chapters are targeted on application of consortia of two different organic products for crop production. The application of microbial derived secondary metabolites in crop protection is also extensively covered. The integration of all forementioned topics satisfies agrochemists, biotechnologist, biochemist, industrialist, researcher and scientists working on organic farming.</p> About the Author Professor Harikesh Bahadur Singh is Distinguished Professor, Department of Biotechnology, GLA University, Mathura, India.
