Plant-Microbe Interaction: An Approach to Sustainable Agriculture [electronic resource] /
Choudhary, Devendra K.editor.
Varma, Ajit.editor.
Tuteja, Narendra.editor.
The book addresses current public concern about the adverse effect of agrochemicals and their effect on the agro-ecosystem. This book also aims to satisfy and contribute to the increasing interest in understanding the co-operative activities among microbial populations and their interaction with plants. It contains chapters on a variety of interrelated aspects of plant-microbe interactions with a single theme of stress management and sustainable agriculture. The book will be very useful for students, academicians, researcher working on plant-microbe interaction and also for policy makers involved in food security and sustainable agriculture.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.
