Microbial Technology for Agro-Ecosystems: Crop Productivity, Sustainability, and Biofortification describes the application of competent microbes in plant growth promotion, nutrient management and recycling from molecular perspectives. Understanding of molecular mechanism of Microbial diversity in association with plant roots is very imperative for plant health and ecosystem equilibrium.
