Book Title
Biofertilizers – Sustainable Soil Health and Crop Productivity
About the Book
With the increasing global demand for sustainable agricultural practices and the urgent need to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, biofertilizers have emerged as a promising alternative to enhance soil fertility, crop productivity, and ecological stability. Despite their potential, the challenges associated with strain performance, formulation technology, storage stability, and field consistency continue to limit widespread use.
This book, Emerging Sustainable Technologies for Biofertilizer Production, provides an in-depth and timely exploration of modern approaches, scientific principles, and technological advancements that are redefining the biofertilizer industry and promoting sustainable agriculture. The volume focuses on the latest research trends and biotechnological innovations aimed at improving efficiency, quality, and scalability of biofertilizer products. It also offers an integrated view of microbial ecology, bioprocess optimization, and formulation science, aligned with the global mission to enhance soil health and achieve food security through eco-friendly solutions.
