The microbiome, a collection of microorganisms in the soil environment, has recently become recognized as key element sustainable agriculture. There are an estimated one million to billion per gram agricultural topsoil, making them largest and most complex biotic community soil. relationship between different kinds biological organization, such genetic variety richness variable microbial communities, is described being complicated. Microorganisms important breakdown organic residue involved number processes that support plant growth, through mineralization, fixation, solubilization, nutrient mobilization. Auxin gibberellin hormones, which promote released by controlled interactions among roots host rhizosphere bacteria. produce antagonistic chemicals, siderophores, antibiotics, other compounds. Many species form symbiotic relationships with microbes order profit from mineral supplies do so least amount energy possible. Through isolation formulation, play functions microbiome used new product called biofertilizers. Physical chemical or diversity analysis higher organisms cannot provide integrated estimate health, but can. They also affect ability retain water, rate infiltration, compaction susceptibility. Before physical characteristics could be observed, shifts population activity can take place, acting sign improvement early detection degradation.
