Agricultural microbiology is a relatively new branch of soil science which has emerged as potentially useful and district discipline, especially in the current context of increasing emphasis on the use of renewable sources in agriculture. Agricultural Microbiology is closely involved with research on organic manuring, recycling of wastes in crop cultivation and biological nitrogen fixation which are aimed at saving energy and supplementing fertilizer inputs in crop cultivation. The content of the book have been dived into three sections - the role of microorganisms in the mobilization of nitrogen and phosphorus to plant growth containing 13 chapters; management of pathogens, pests and weed through microorganisms containing 5 chapters; new strategies in bioconversion containing 7 Chapters.
