This comprehensive exploration delves into the pivotal role of bacteria in soil health, elucidating their mechanisms in organic matter decomposition, metal facilitation, bioremediation of stubborn materials, and nutrient cycling essential for soil fertilization, plant health and conditioning.
In an agricultural ecosystem, soil nutrients are the backbone, sourced either externally through fertilizers or internally by the action of soil bacteria. Understanding the intricate concert of soil bacteria within the ecological framework offers three significant advantages: revitalizing soil health and quality (soil reclamation), enhancing soil nutrient availability (biofertilization), and amplifying crop yields in an environmentally sustainable manner (sustainable agriculture).
This book caters to a diverse audience including educators, researchers, technocrats, policymakers, agricultural foundations, non-governmental organizations, and particularly research students. It also serves as supplementary material for undergraduate and graduate students across various disciplines such as agriculture, microbiology, biotechnology, forestry, ecology, soil science, and environmental sciences. Additionally, it provides invaluable insights for both national and international agricultural scientists and soil ecologists, enriching their understanding of soil ecosystems and agricultural sustainability.
