Agricultural microbiology is a sub-discipline of microbiology that focuses on the study of microorganisms and their interactions with plants, animals, and the environment in agricultural settings. This field encompasses a wide range of topics including soil microbiology, plant-microbe interactions, microbial pathogens in agriculture, biotechnology, and sustainable agriculture practices. Agricultural microbiologists play a crucial role in developing and implementing strategies to improve crop yield, control plant diseases, and enhance soil fertility through the manipulation of beneficial microorganisms. Research in agricultural microbiology aims to understand the complex relationships between microorganisms and their environments in order to develop innovative solutions for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
