Plant Microbiome and Its Important in Stressful Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Microbiome Paradigm

Abstract

The benefits of the green revolution in current agriculture are well-obvious. Use and application of soil and plant microbiome’s potential can overcome part of agricultural limits. The issue of crop production in current world is complicated by decreasing proper farmland, biotic and abiotic stresses and high equipment and labor costs. Therefore, sustainable and appropriate agriculture would depend on the utilization of microorganisms and new methods, which will aid as a marginal approach for more crop yield in the aftertime. The abiotic and biotic stresses are key constraints for food quality, crop yield, and global food security. Effective microbes have a substantial role in biotic and abiotic stresses management, reduce chemical fertilizers and increase the yield of plant cultivar’s by affecting elemental cycling. Additionally, high solicitation for food and crowd everyday increasing, increment necessity of how to use the microbiome for more crop yields and decrease losses affected by environmental stresses. In this chapter the role of the plant microbiome as a new strategy was investigated that may be responsible for increase in crop productivity and eventually by effectively answering biotic and abiotic stresses leads to food security.
