Most soils are classified on the basis of their chemical and physical properties; little has been done to classify soils ac­ cording to their microbiological proper­ ties. The reason for this is that a soil’s chemical and physical properties are more readily defined and measured than their microbiological properties. Improved soil quality is usually characterized […]

Microorganism Principles and Fundamental Considerations

Microorganisms are utilized in agriculture for various pur­poses; as important components of organic amendments and composts, as legume inoculants for biological nitrogen fixation, as a means of suppressing in­sects and plant diseases to improve crop quality and yield, and for reduction of la­bor. All of these are closely related to one another. An important consideration […]
