In addition, microorganisms play key roles in suppressing soil borne plant diseases, in promoting plant growth and changes in vegetation. The book " Microbial Resources for Crop Improvement" takes stock of present status of research in exploration of microbial resources for the management of plant diseases which will cater to the need not only of the students, teachers, researchers but all well wishers of farmers.
