The constantly growing world population scenario is escalating the pressure on crop productivity. The excessive use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, however, leads to the deterioration of the quality of soil and food crop products. This new volume, Microbial Fertilizer Technology for Sustainable Crop Production, addresses those concerns by focusing on improving soil health through sustainable practices. The use of microbial biofertilizers is a promising substitute to tradit...

This book focuses on the various applications of microorganisms for sustainable environment and the reduction of hazardous pollutants released in various forms, including xenobiotics, e-waste, pesticides, insecticides, plastic, heavy metals, paper waste, medical waste, textile dyes, and their impact on environmental and human health. The book involves a series of research reports that explain the application of microbes used to solve real-life issues raised due to changes happening in envi...

C# Deconstructed answers a seemingly simply question: Just what is going on, exactly, when you run C# code on the .NET Framework?To answer this question we will dig ever deeper into the structure of the C# language and the onion-skin abstraction layers of the .NET Framework that underpins it. Well follow the execution thread downwards, first to MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) then down through just-in-time compilation into Machine Code before finally seeing the res...

This new volume delivers the remarkable theoretical and practical findings on the outstanding applications of mycorrhizal fungi in recovering plant health, in producing the mycorrhizal edible forest trees, and in conserving natural resources.It examines the recent research studies based on mycorrhizal technology that have explored the positive impact of root symbiosis on plant adaptation to climate-associated abiotic stressors, such as salinity, drought, flooding, and high temperat...

This book reviews all important aspects of Microbial sustainability in food production and food safety with the aim of shedding new light on these microbes through combined understanding of traditional and novel paradigms. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which reinterprets fundamentals of food microbiology, examining the beneficial aspects of microorganisms in food and microbial responses from food environments and preservation. The second section discusses recent adv...

This new volume addresses the growing use of organic farming in recent past decades fueled by the concern with the many deleterious effects of conventional agricultural practices, which employ chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides for large scale production of food. It focuses on sustainable development in farming, primarily detailing the application of different natural resources as manure for organic farming. The authors discuss efficient and cost-effective uses of natural and...
