Ebook "Composting for sustainable agriculture (Sustainable development and biodiversity, Volume 3)" will comprised various chapters on the role of beneficial bacteria in the composting process. The application is depicted to achieve the attainable productivity besides, in disease management and suppressiveness of organisms of phytopathogenic in nature. Significance of the compost elicits certain responses e.g. soil reclamation, soil fertility, soil health and disease management exhibit due to quality compost amendment in soil.

Rhizobia topic has been re-focused in recent years because of new findings on their traits not only as nitrogen-fixing bacteria but also as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. When combing rhizobial strains with novel biological carriers (e.g., biochar) for inoculant production, it brings great potential for improving soil health in long-term.

Heavy metal pollution in soils has attracted an increasing attention around the world in past decades. The contamination of agricultural soils is often a direct or indirect consequence of anthropogenic activities. Such pollutants, particularly heavy metals which are not biologically degraded like many organic pollutants; but tending to accumulated, can endanger public health by being incorporated into the food chain.

Citrus production is declining worldwide due to several biotic and abiotic factors. The diseases caused by Phytophthora spp. present major economic risks since they are soil-borne and spread quickly if environmental conditions are favorable, or irrigation is poorly managed. Phytophthora species are present in all citrus-producing areas around the world causing significant losses in crop yield and affecting tree health.

World population is increasing at an alarming rate, and crop cultivation on marginal lands has emerged as an alternate option to feed the burgeoning population. However, marginal lands are characterized by poor soil health and other undesirable characteristics resulting in low crop production and less economic returns. Interest in the application of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) for marginal lands has been increasing.

Soil-transmitted helminths caused millions of morbidity of preschool age children in sub-Saharan Africa with low socio-economic status and lack of clean water and sanitation. In Ethiopia, nearly half of children are affected by intestinal parasites. Despite this prevalence, deworming medication utilization among preschool age children is low.

Heavy metal pollution of agricultural soils resulting from wastewater irrigation has been causing major concern due to the potential risk involved. In the present study, food-crops (Chrysanthemum coronarium; Ocimum basilicum; Coriandrum sativum), irrigation water, and corresponding agricultural soil were assessed for Pb and As contamination.

The soil environment is responsible for sustaining most terrestrial plant life, yet we know surprisingly little about the important functions carried out by diverse microbial communities in soil. Soil microbes that inhabit the channels of decaying root systems, the detritusphere, are likely to be essential for plant growth and health, as these channels are the preferred locations of new root growth.

Synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), specifically X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, indicated the dominant species of As in soil and sediment samples was arsenate [As(V)], which is similar to the chemical form of As in the groundwaters of this region. No evidence of arsenite [As(III)] was identified in any of the solid-phase samples, including earthworm castings.

Based on the combined positive matrix factorization-health risk (PMF-HR) model, industry, combustion, and traffic emission contributed the most to the health risk of Cr and Cd, followed by soil parent material layer. Our study provided a reliable method to calculate the bioaccessible heavy metal health risk and determine each potential source’s contribution to health risk.

In addition to its effects on air quality, stubble burning also affects soil fertility (through the destruction of its nutrients), economic development and climate. The crop stubbles (if managed properly) could provide immense economic benefits to the farmers and protect the environment from the severe pollution. Some of the alternative management practices include the incorporation of the stubble into the soil, use of stubble as fuel in power plants, use as raw material for pulp and paper industries, or as biomass for biofuel production.
