Opis

Due to over crowded population has escalated the pressure on more productivity per unit of land, so excessive chemical fertilizers and pesticides detoriate the soil health and quality of food. So it is important to restore the soil health with beneficial microorganisms like plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) use as biofertilizer, biocontrol and biopesticides, which are natural, beneficial and ecofriendly. potential strains of PGPRs use as potential inoculants for various crops which is increasing day by day to sustain agricultural productivity. This book will certainly provide useful information for production and formulation of nitrogen fixing microbes and consortium of seaweed liquid fertilizers use as biofertilizers. This book contain starting from screening and adaptive method for improvisation of biofertilizer efficacy, mass multiplication protocol for production of seaweed liquid fertilizers (SLF) and biofertilizers. and their cost benefit analysis for entrepreneurship development. This book is immensely useful for biotechnologist, microbiologist and industrialists dealing with production of microbial biofertilizers, seaweed liquid fertilizers (SLF).
