Foreword

Achieving sustainable agricultural production while keeping the environmental quality, agroecosystem functions, and biodiversity is a real challenge in the present agricultural scenario. The traditional use of chemical inputs (fertilizers, pesticides, nutrients, etc.) poses serious threats to crop productivity, soil fertility, and the nutritional value of farm produce. Global concern over the dem
