Description
Biofertilizers, Volume One: Advances in Bio-inoculants provides state-of-the-art descriptions of various approaches, techniques and basic fundamentals of BI used in crop fertilization practices. The book presents research within a relevant theoretical framework to improve our understanding of core issues as applied to natural resource management. Authored by renowned scientists actively working on bio-inoculant, biofertilizer and bio-stimulant sciences, the book addresses the scope of inexpensive and energy neutral bio-inoculant technologies and the impact regulation has on biofertilizer utilization. This book is a valuable reference for agricultural/environmental scientists in academic and corporate environments, graduate and post-graduate students, regulators and policymakers.- Informs researchers on how to develop innovative products and technologies that increase crop yields and quality while decreasing agricultural carbon footprints- Focuses on production, protocols and developments in the processing of bio-inoculants, bio-stimulants and bio-fertilizers- Summarizes the biologically active compounds and examines current research areas
