Synopsis

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revitalization through Organic Products provides a comprehensive overview of different organic products which work as plant biostimulants, i.e., protein hydrolysates, chitosan, microbial derived exopolysaccharides, pectin, nanoparticles, etc. In addition, detailed insights in their mechanisms for plant growth promotion and stress alleviation are covered. This volume further discusses the extraction and formulation of organic products for use in sustainable agriculture. The application of microbial derived secondary metabolites in crop protection is also extensively covered. This book will be ideal for agrochemists, biotechnologists, biochemists, industrialists, researchers and scientists working on organic farming.

• Comprises information on the various types of organic products and their applications in agriculture
• Gives an insightful perspective on mechanisms of different organic products involved in plant growth promotion and stress management
• Provides resourceful material for new ideas to develop organic formulations for agricultural practices

From the Back Cover

New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Sustainable Agriculture: Revitalization through Organic provides a comprehensive overview of different organic products which work as plant biostimulants i.e. protein hydrolysates, chitosan, microbial derived exopolysccahrides, pectin, nanoparticles etc. In addition, detailed insights in their mechanisms for plant growth promotion and stress alleviation are covered in this volume. This volume further discusses about the extraction and formulation of organic products for contribution in sustainable agriculture. Some chapters are targeted on application of consortia of two different organic products for crop production. The application of microbial derived secondary metabolites in crop protection is also extensively covered. The integration of all forementioned topics satisfies agrochemists, biotechnologist, biochemist, industrialist, researcher and scientists working on organic farming.
