商品描述

This edited book covers various bioinoculants for sustainable crop production under the changing global climate. The book envisages a compilation of articles relevant to the current status of production and use of novel microbial inoculants for different crops and highlights their role in mitigating global climate challenges. These include nutrient deficiencies, salinity, drought, and emerging pathogens. In addition, success stories and commercialization aspects are also discussed.

Growing environmental concerns related to climate change can potentially decrease the global yield capacity of agricultural systems. Agricultural productivity is severely affected by major biotic and abiotic factors. The phytomicrobiome plays a critical role in the survival of the holobiont, particularly for plants growing in extreme environments. The use of microbial-based agricultural inputs has a long history, beginning with a broad-scale rhizobial inoculation of legumes in the early twentieth century. Microbial inoculants are considered one of the best and most effective strategies for sustainable agriculture under climate change, and a viable solution to meet the twin challenges of global food security and environmental sustainability. It is therefore imperative to understand the current status and development in the area of bioinoculants from a global perspective. The chapter's focus would be on major agro-ecologies, covering all major crops across the globe, along with the commercialization status of different bioinoculants in different countries

The book caters to the needs of the students, faculty, policymakers, and researchers working in the area of microbiology, biotechnology, environmental sciences, and botany.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書涵蓋了在全球氣候變遷下,為可持續農作物生產所使用的各種生物接種劑。該書旨在彙編與當前新型微生物接種劑的生產和使用狀況相關的文章,並強調它們在緩解全球氣候挑戰中的作用,包括營養缺乏、鹽鹼化、乾旱和新興病原體。此外,成功案例和商業化方面的討論也在書中進行。

隨著對氣候變遷的環境關注日益增加,全球農業系統的產量潛力可能會下降。農業生產力受到主要生物和非生物因素的嚴重影響。植物微生物組在整體生物體的生存中扮演著關鍵角色,特別是對於生長在極端環境中的植物。基於微生物的農業投入有著悠久的歷史,始於20世紀初對豆科植物的大規模根瘤菌接種。微生物接種劑被認為是應對氣候變遷下可持續農業的最佳和最有效策略之一,也是滿足全球糧食安全和環境可持續性雙重挑戰的可行解決方案。因此,從全球視角理解生物接種劑的當前狀況和發展是至關重要的。本章將重點關注主要的農業生態系,涵蓋全球所有主要作物,以及不同國家中各種生物接種劑的商業化狀況。

本書滿足了在微生物學、生物技術、環境科學和植物學領域工作的學生、教職員、政策制定者和研究人員的需求。
