Soil fertility is the backbone of agricultural systems and plays a key role in determining food quantity and quality. In recent decades, soil fertility has decreased due to indiscriminate use of agrochemicals, and nations around the globe are now facing the challenge of increasing food production while sustainably maintaining soil fertility. Written by leading international scientists in the field, this book explores soil fertility management strategies, including agronomic, microbiological and soil-science based strategies. Highlighting the practices that can be incorporated into organic farming and discussing recent advances, it is a valuable resource for researchers wanting to broaden their vision and the scope of their investigations. 



Dr. Deepak G. Panpatte has been working as a research scholar for the past 7 years. His research interests include agriculturally beneficial microorganisms such as biofertilizers, biopesticides and biodegraders. Done pioneering work for development of fortified biocontrol bacterial consortium with phyto-extracts for management of phytopathogenic nematodes and fungi. He has received 5 awards for presentation of research outcomes in International conferences and Rastiya Gaurav Award for outstanding contribution in agriculture. His publication profile includes 14 research papers, 2 books & 9 book chapter with Springer publishing house, 1 practical manual, 26 popular articles and 2 editorial pages.
