Advanced Microbial Techniques in Agriculture, Environment, and Health Management provides current perspectives on the fields of agriculture, the environment and health. This important reference presents recent advancements in applied microbial technology, compiling it in a comprehensive manner and transferring applied microbial technology from laboratory conditions to field level. In 20 chapters, the book focuses on microbial interventions for all-inclusive, cost-effective environmental management tactics while also linking the cumulative microbial services involved in the up-gradation of agriculture, environment and health.
In addition, the book offers detailed information on emerging environmental issues and proposes ways of controlling their consequences using different approaches to treatment.
- Provides conceptual information and recent advances in microbial services involved in enhancing environmental sustainability
- Offers potential solutions for a variety of problems like low agricultural productivity, emission of harmful contaminants from both natural and anthropogenic sources, and disease development in plants and humans
- Contains applied, in-depth knowledge on microbial contributions as bio-inoculants, enzymatic sources and antimicrobials
