About This Book
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered enormously important in contemporary agriculture and horticulture due to their important role in nutrient, biotic and abiotic stress management apart from enhancing plant health and soil fertility. AMF is one of the important fungi for soil aggregation, which helps in drought management. Hence this book brings out an exclusive text on AMF for sustainable rice production. It provides comprehensive up-to-date knowledge on AMF in rice cultivation, and for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without damaging the environment.
Salient Features:
1. Covers all the aspects of AMF in rice cultivation from diversity to applications
2. Documents AMF diversity based on metagenomic approach in rice ecosystems
3. Explains the importance of AMF in soil aggregation, which helps in drought management
4. Provides new unraveling knowledge about AMF for sustainable rice production in different ecologies without damaging the environment
5. Discusses the AMF role in induction of resistance in rice plants against some pests.
