Agricultural microbiology is a field of study dealing with plant-related microorganisms. It aims to address the problems of agricultural practices usually caused by the lack of biodiversity in microbial communities. Understanding microbial strains associated with agricultural applications can help improve factors such as soil nutrients, resistance to phytopathogens, crop robustness, and fertilizer intake efficiency. Many symbiotic relationships between plants and microbes will ultimately lead to more food production needed to feed an increasing population and safer cultivation techniques to minimize ecosystem disruptions.
