Includes index
Microbes and agriculture -- The epidemiology of foodborne disease -- The environment of sustainable agriculture -- Virus -- Fungal endophytes of plants -- The soil microorganisms and rhizosphere -- Agricultural biotechnology and food microbiology -- Microbiology
“Agricultural microbiology is a branch of microbiology dealing with plant-associated microbes and plant and animal diseases. It also deals with the microbiology of soil fertility, such as microbial degradation of organic matter and soil nutrient transformations. The science of agricultural microbiology envisages the utilization of modern biological and biochemical tools towards amelioration of the degrading eco-health and conservation of natural resources related to the field of agriculture. Applied microbiology focuses on how microbes can be used in food production, pest control, industrial applications, and medicinal uses. Specifically, these programs explore the relation of biology to agriculture, industry, biotechnology and the environment. Agricultural Biology focuses on the area of plant protection, including plant pathology and applied entomology. This book will be useful to researchers, teachers and students of microbiology, agriculture, botany and zoology.”--Book cover
