The science of Microbiology plays a major role in the Environmental, Agricultural, Medical and industrial fields. This book deals with the various aspects of Soil and Agricultural Microbiology. Special attention is given to the microorganisms present in the soil, their roles and interactions. The book is useful to the students of Microbiology, Botany, Biochemistry, Soil Science and Agricultural Microbiology, both at the under-graduate and post-graduate level.
Microorganisms are present everywhere and have direct influence on human beings and their surroundings. Indeed, life on Earth would not be sustainable without the benefits that many of them provide.
Soil Microbiology governs nutrient processing and recycling in soil and also affects the decomposition of organic matter in soil, soil salinity and soil acidity thereby impacting soil fertility and crop health.
The book is useful for students and the teachers teaching the course. The language of the book is simple and subject matter is discussed with help of illustration such as tables and pictures, keeping readers in mind. The book is illustrated in simple language for easy understanding remembering. I hope as per my experience both students and teachers will fill well.
