Conclusions and Outlook
Disasters are increasing every day impacting environment directly and human and
other living world indirectly. Agriculture being a main source of food supply and
also source of economy is in transition phase. It is becoming inevitable in agriculture
that newer technologies or the ecofriendly approaches need to be implemented to
make it a viable system for food production. Microorganisms being the connecting
link between bio and geo need to be evaluated regularly from different environmental conditions so as to identify a potential candidate which will take care of the stress
problems associated with plants. In future, it may become compulsory to develop
bioinoculants associated with fertility enrichment of the soil along with plastic
degrading microorganisms as a soil amendment.
