Rhizosphere Engineering

Rhizosphere Engineering is a guide to applying environmentally sound  agronomic practices to improve crop yield while also protecting soil  resources. Focusing on the potential and positive impacts of appropriate  practices, the book includes the use of beneficial microbes,  nanotechnology and metagenomics. Developing and applying techniques that  not only enhance yield, but also restore the quality of soil and water  using beneficial microbes such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas,  vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) fungi and others are covered,  along with new information on utilizing nanotechnology, quorum sensing  and other technologies to further advance the science.

Designed  to fill the gap between research and application, this book is written  for advanced students, researchers and those seeking real-world insights  for improving agricultural production.
