Organic Farming and Mycorrhizae in Agriculture

 
Pravin Chandra Trivedi (Editor)
Synopsis Organic farming is a crop production system that avoids the use of synthetic and chemical inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Indiscriminate use of synthetic chemicals and the problems arising from them forced us to think about the alternative means. Organic manures such as farmyard manure, compost, vermicompost, biofertilizers, biopestcides, etc. can be used at least as complement, if not a substitute. The present book "Organic Farming and Mycorrhizae in Agriculture" incorporates articles on organic farming, biofertilizers, PGPR bioinoculant, role of mycorrhiza in agriculture, biopesticides, VAM biotechnology, use of Azolla for sustainable crop production and economics of bio-inputs usage in agriculture. This book provides excellent information on the subject and would prove to be a very useful reference for agriculturists, botanists and environmentalists looking for the worldwide demand of organically produced crops and commodities.
