Inhaltsangabe

This book examines biofertilizers as a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, with emphasis on Egypt and the MENA region. It integrates microbial ecology, soil science, production technology, and regulatory policy to present a comprehensive framework for biological nutrient management. Evidence shows that nitrogen-fixing bacteria enhance cereal yields and improve nitrogen use efficiency while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from conventional fertilization. Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms increase available phosphorus in calcareous soils, while arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi improve plant water-use efficiency under drought stress. The book addresses challenges of calcareous, saline, and degraded soils through performance-based evaluation frameworks integrating agronomic, microbial, environmental, and regulatory indicators. It examines strain selection, formulation stability, encapsulation technologies, quality assurance, and policy harmonization. By linking laboratory science, field application, and governance, this work positions biofertilizers as key tools for climate adaptation, soil restoration, and resilient food systems in Egypt and beyond.
