Rice based cropping system is the major cropping system practised in India which includes the rotation of crops involving rice, pulses, oil seeds, cotton, sugar cane, green manures etc. The rice based cropping system offers lot of scope for the effective utilization of a wide range of biofertilizers such as Azolla, BGA, Azospirillum Rhizobium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and other heterotropic N fixing bacterai which help to increase the yeild by reducing the cost of cultivatin. It thus had dual advantages of being sustainable without endangering the environment and being highly cost effective. This book'Biofertilizer Technology' deals with the current developments in the basic and applied aspects of biofertilizers used in the rice based cropping including the novel endophytic diazotrophs viz., Asorhizobium caulindonas, Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, Pnk Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophs PPFM etc.
