Arbuscular Mycorrhization in Tobacco

First- of- its kind book which provides in depth coverage of AM fungi as major microbial biofertilizer as emerging growth promoter and biopesticide.Mycorrhizae have been described as perhaps the ultimate in reciprocal parasitism (symbiosis) wherein the fungus supplies the higher plant partner with mineral nutrients and plant growth hormones and protects the roots against pathogens and the higher plant supplies the fungus with energy substrates.Almost all the crop plants are dependent upon one of the mycorrhizal association.This book contains protocols and practical stratigies for using AM fungi in sustainable tobacco production.Tables and figures make the content easy to access and understand.The contents of the book is the outcome of three decades of research experience of the author as a Scientist working on AM fungi in tobacco.This book provides brief and relevant information on the subject with appropriate references for the benefit of tobacco Scientists,Researchers,Farmers and Stake holders who are interested in alternative and economically viable sources of inputs for crop production through AM fungi.
