The increasing costs and negative effects of pesticides and fertilizers necessitate the idea of biological options of crop protection and production. This includes the use of animal manure, crop residues, microbial inoculum, and composts. They provide natural nutrition, reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers, develop biodiversity, increase soil biological activity, maintain soil physical properties, and improve environmental health. date: 2015 date_type: published series: Soil Biology volume: 42 publisher: Springer International Publishing place_of_pub: Switzerland pagerange: 71-88 pages: 442 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-319-13401-7 book_title: Plant-Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Medicinal Plants official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-13401-7_4 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=Plant+Growth-Promoting+Microbes+from+Herbal+Vermicompost&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sauthors=&as_publication=&as_ylo=&as_yhi=&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 related_url_type: pub citation: Vijayabharathi, R and Sathya, A and Gopalakrishnan, S (2015) Plant Growth-Promoting Microbes from Herbal Vermicompost.
