Description: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Sustainable Agriculture: Nutrient and Crop Management by Manoj Parihar, Amitava Rakshit, Alok Adholeya, Yinglong Chen This 2 volume book is an up-to-date overview of current progress in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal (AMF) technique development, inoculum production and its quality regulations, application in agriculture, horticulture, agroforestry and other ecosystems along with nutrient management for sustainable food production. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This 2 volume book is an up-to-date overview of current progress in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal (AMF) technique development, inoculum production and its quality regulations, application in agriculture, horticulture, agroforestry and other ecosystems along with nutrient management for sustainable food production. It offers new insight and cutting-edge information for novices and experts such as students, academicians, researchers, environmentalists, industrialists, and other individuals interested in the field of mycorrhiza.AMF provides favorable rhizospheric environment to the plant with numerous direct and indirect mechanisms, in exchange of soil nutrients and photosynthetically fixed carbon. Other than the species composition and diversity determination of natural ecosystem, AMF play a vital role in maintaining the soil quality, agricultural sustainability and environmental integrity. The second volume provide comprehensive knowledge on AMF role in nutrient cycling, nutrient exchange and their acquisition under normal and stress condition. Author Biography Dr. Manoj PariharScientist, ICAR-Vivekananda Parvatiya Krishi Anusandhan Sansthan, IndiaDr. Manoj Parihar is currently working at ICAR-VPKAS, Almora as a Soil Scientist in Crop Production Division. His present research works extend to study the diversity and distribution of AM fungi in North-Western Himalayan region, long term fertilizer assessment in the rainfed and irrigated soybean-wheat cropping system, soil health management under organic farming and various agroforestry systems.Dr. Amitava RakshitAssociate Professor, Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), IndiaDr. Amitava Rakshit research areas include: Nutrient use efficiency, Simulations modeling, organic farming, Integrated Nutrient Management and bioremediation. Dr. Alok AdholeyaProgram Director, Sustainable Agriculture, IHC, TERI, IndiaDr. Alok Adholeya hasover 35 years significant experience and expertise in the area of translational research and reaching out to millions of common people worldwide through his developed technologies which includes, a new biological organisms for soil fertility and crop productivity enhancement known as "Mycorrhizal" bioremediation of industrial solid waste aeron chemical and fertilizer industries, He has developed more than 25 IPRs and commercialized most of them through technology transfer to industries. His current involvement in the area of nano intervention in agriculture, micro encapsulation technology developed for beneficial yet fragile microorganisms and seed coating technology are few which are making inroads to benefit mankind.Dr. Yinglong ChenARC Future Fellow, School of Agriculture and Environment, Institute of Agriculture, The University of Western Australia, AustraliaDr. Yinglong Chen research interests include the use of recently developed nondestructive imaging, isotope, and metabolism techniques to track rhizosphere interactions (root-soil-microbes, including mycorrhizal fungi) aiming to improve crop nutrient use efficiency and crop production.
