Springer - Microbial Inoculants in Sustainable Agriculture Vol 1

Modern farming faces a major challenge: how to maintain high crop productivity without damaging the environment or losing biodiversity. As agricultural systems become more dependent on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, risks to soil fertility, pest management, and human health increase. This volume from Springer addresses these concerns by exploring the role of microbial inoculants in sustainable farming. This research-focused book examines how biofertilizers and plant growth promoters can help reduce the reliance on chemical inputs. By focusing on agro-ecosystem well-being and the nutritional value of produce, the text provides perspectives on maintaining healthy soil and stable ecosystems. It is an essential resource for those studying biotechnology and sustainable agricultural practices, offering insights into managing the delicate balance between high yields and environmental protection.
