Microbes in Agrowaste Management for Sustainable Agriculture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology

Abstract

Agro residues, a precious source of nutrients are being disposed off because of their bulky nature and non-availability of management practices. Besides loss of essential plant nutrients and organic matter important for sustainability of the system, it also causes environmental pollution leading to animal and human health problems. It is important to recycle these crop residues for restoring soil health and sustainability of the production system for national food and nutritional security. Composting can be adopted for large scale recycling of these agrowastes to enriched compost using efficient microorganisms. Apart from being a source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients for plants, compost is also believed to suppress soil-borne diseases in plants. These virtues make composting an ideal option for processing the enormous quantities of agro wastes that are generated in the world. Besides this agrowastes may be utilized as a resource for production of animal feed, biofuel and enzyme to generate additional income.
