Overview

Advances in genetic engineering have increased interest in the production of inoculants for crop plants. This is obviously an area of biotechnology that is relevant to the hungry world's struggle against diseases which affect food crops, decreasing yields and impoverishing the soil. This book arose from an SGM Ecology Group Symposium, held in Warwick, April 1988, which addressed the state of the research at present and highlighted possibilities for the future. The text aims to cover all the present microbial inoculants which are of proven value in crop production. A realistic review of the area is given and, as much of the published work on this subject is speculative, the results discussed here are assessed on field yields of crops. This volume will be welcomed by researchers and agriculturalists in both developed and underdeveloped countries.
