Bio-inoculants in Horticultural Crops 1st Edition

Bio-inoculants in Horticultural Crops, 1st Edition — edited by Amitava Rakshit, Vijay Singh Meena, Leonardo Fernandes Fraceto, Manoj Parihar, and Adalberto Benavides-M.

Discover a definitive guide for sustainable horticulture that bridges cutting-edge science and practical field application. This comprehensive volume explores bio-inoculant technologies—rhizobia, mycorrhizae, plant growth-promoting bacteria and fungi, and microbial consortia—tailored to the needs of vegetable, fruit, ornamental and plantation crops across tropical and subtropical regions.

Packed with evidence-based chapters, the book explains mechanisms of action, formulation and delivery methods, protocol-driven field trial results, and region-specific case studies relevant to India, South Asia, Latin America and other horticultural hotspots. Written by leading researchers and practitioners, it balances rigorous research with hands-on guidance for agronomists, extension specialists, farm managers and graduate students seeking to reduce chemical inputs while sustaining yield and quality.

Why this book matters: it translates complex microbial science into scalable solutions for improving nutrient use efficiency, enhancing disease resistance, and supporting climate-resilient production systems. Regulatory considerations, quality control and adoption barriers are discussed to help professionals navigate real-world implementation.

Whether you’re a researcher designing experiments, a consultant advising growers, or a progressive farmer aiming for greener production, this book is an essential resource.
