Biofertilizers in Indian Agriculture: An Annotated Bibliography (1906-84)

The modern day intensive crop cultivation requires the use of chemical fertilizers based on non-renewable energy sources which are not only in short supply but are also expansive. This calls for adoption of integrated nutrient supply by using a judicious combination of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers. Applied work relating to biofertilizers has been done in India on a large scale with legumes as well as non-legumes. The research workers and agriculturists have been facing difficulties in searching the increasing literature on this aspect of study. It is, therefore, the most welcome publication for scientists and agriculturist interested in use of biofertilizers. The book contains 1034 periodicals published during last eighty years. It has author, source, and subject indexes to facilitate quick retrieval of desired information
