Plant-microbe interactions: existing awareness and recommendations for sustainable agriculture
Author(s): Dharmender K. Gahlot*, Umesh Kumar and Krishan K. Kapoor
Plants do not grow in isolation; they interact with diverse microorganisms in their habitat. The development of
techniques to identify and quantify microbial diversity associated with plants contributes to our understanding
of the complexity of environmental influences to which plants are exposed. Identifying interactions which
are beneficial to plants can enable us to promote healthy growth with minimal application of agrochemicals.
Increased knowledge of plant microbial diversity can be applied to meet the growing demand for bio fertilizers
for use in organic agriculture. In this article, we highlight the beneficial effects of soil-micro biota and bio
fertilizers on improving plant health and crop yield. We propose that a multiomics approach is appropriate to
evaluate viability in the context of sustainable agriculture... View More»
