Description
The book is about the microbial ecology of the soil and plant growth. It discusses the microorganisms that live in the soil, how they interact with the environment, and how their activity can affect plant growth. The book also discusses methods of intervention to limit the growth of harmful microorganisms.
The book is divided into three parts that are logically connected. The first part defines the principal characteristics of the subterranean world and describes the microorganisms that live there as well as the environmental constraints they are subjected to. The second part shows how the action of the microorganisms can modify the physico-chemical surroundings, the microbiological equilibria and the growth of plants. The third part dwells on a few methods of intervention that would help in limiting the proliferation of harmful microorganisms and how to make the best use of the activity of auxiliary microorganisms.
