Explores how rhizospheric microbiomes in soil and environment management can enhance soil quality and improve plant health. Presents advancements in rhizosphere science. Consolidates information on the advanced and applied aspects of microbial consortia and their role in promoting plant fitness, and environmental health.
The rhizosphere, the zone of chemical, biological, and physical influence generated by root growth and
activity, offers a favorable ecological environment for a wide variety of microorganisms and is renowned
for its high level of microbial activity. This book explores how taking advantage of the diversity and
benefits of rhizospheric microbiomes in soil and environment management can enhance soil quality and
stimulate the production of defense-related compounds in various pathosystems, resulting in better plant
health. It presents an array of advancements in rhizosphere science that involve soil management, hostpathogen
interactions, nutrient mobilization, bioremediation, mechanisms and modes of action of
signaling molecules, molecular aspects of microbial interactions, and bioformulation strategies, among
others. The volume consolidates comprehensive information on the advanced and applied aspects of
microbial consortia and their role in promoting plant fitness, soil management, nutrient mobilization,
bioremediation, and environmental health.
