Agricultural microbiology: introduction.

The potential uses of microorganisms are considered under the following main headings (1) Rhizobium and other nitrogen-fixing micro-organisms (Rhizobium, Frankia, Azolla, blue-green algae, and associative bacteria), (2) plant growth-promoting microbes (mycorrhiza, biosuper, and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria), (3) biological control agents (market prospects and inoculum production), (4) biological control of plant diseases (fungal diseases, bacteria and control of plant pathogens by virus-like agents), (5) biological control of weeds (biological control strategies, mycoherbicides, integrated weed control, and new biotechnology developments), (6) biological control of insects (Bacillus thuringiensis toxin, viruses, fungi protozoa, and nematodes and associated bacteria), (7) biological control of nematodes, (8) food, fuel and fertiliser from organic waste (crop residues, biogas, mushrooms, and water purification), (8) postharvest food processing, and (9) biomass for fuel production. The limited practical success of molecular research with Rhizobium is noted. Developing countries may benefit from the diversity of tropical ecosystems when isolating useful organisms.
