Present day research is focused on role of soil microbe's in agriculture, diazotropic & azotobacterial N2 fixation, PGPR etc. However, there is dearth of information on bioremediation of agrochemicals, biocontrol etc. This book is a compilation of research advances in both the aspect from eminent experts around the globe. In addition, in-silico mediated understandings of plant pathology, use of artificial neural networks in phytopathogen prediction, computational approaches in enhancing secondary metabolites production will be beneficial to professionals and academicians for sustainable agriculture.

This volume will be very helpful for the students, teachers, professionals, and scientists concerned in agricultural production, food security, soil microbiology, agricultural biotechnology, and computational techniques.

Ilaria Mannazzu, Ph.D. in Microbial Biotechnology, was promoted to associate professor in Microbiology at the University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy in 2001 and professor of microbiology in 2014 she obtained the National Academic Qualification as full professor of Microbiology. Her teaching activity mainly involves General Microbiology, Microbial Biotechnology and Food Microbiology and includes master and doctoral seminar courses. Her research interests cover the biodiversity, physiology and genetics of microorganisms of biotechnological relevance, mainly Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-conventional yeasts. Also her research activity focuses on: (i) microbial interactions for the development of natural antimicrobials; (ii) Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-Saccharomyces yeasts in wine and beer; (iii) fermentative stress response in wine yeasts; (iv) biotechnological production of primary and secondary metabolites; (v) heterologous expression of microbial proteins. She has coauthor of 75 publications in international peer reviewed journals with 4244 citations (h index 27, www.scopus.com as on today), 10 book chapters, and more than 100 communications, proceedings and posters presented at national and international conferences and papers in technical journals. She has been invited as a speaker at many national and international conferences. She is also a reviewer of many international journals, member of the editorial board of Fermentation (MDPI), Microorganisms (MDPI) and World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology (Springer) etc. Member of the teaching board of the School of Doctorate in Agricultural Sciences of the University of Sassari, she participates to the preparation of the doctoral degree study programme in Biophysical Chemistry of Brno University of Technology, Czechia. She represents the University of Sassari in the General Assembly of MIRRI IT-JRU and she is a member of Società di MicrobiologiaAgraria, Alimentare e Ambientale (SIM3A) and of the Italian Group of Wine Microbiology.

Dr. Ashutosh Singh is presently working as Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph, Canada. After completing B.Tech.in Biotechnology from Vellore Institute of Technology, India in 2007, he obtained M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree in Bioresource Engineering, from McGill University, Canada in 2010 and 2014 respectively. Before joining the University of Guelph, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University, Canada from 2014 to 2015 and later joined McGill University as a Research Associate. Dr. Singh's research work involves the development of novel food processing methods and the use of physical, chemical, engineering, bioinformatics and biotechnological tools to improve the understanding of the nutritional component of food at the molecular level. In recent years his research group has expanded the research areas to include the development of non-destructive food quality and safety testing techniques using ATR-FTIR and NIR. His research group also works in the area of design, fabrication and application of microfluidic electrochemical, Quartz-Crystal Microbalance (QCM) and colorimetric biosensors to identify food allergens and toxins. Till date he and his research group members have published over 50 research articles (Citation: 1004, h index: 18 and i10-index: 23 (Google Scholar)).
