What is it about?

This is a Crystal Ball where we propose to beneficial microorganisms as principal actors to revert damages caused per the green revolution.

Why is it important?

In this Crystal Ball we describe the negative effects of the scheme of intensive agriculture of the green revolution technology. To recover the contaminated soils derived from intensive farming is necessary introduce new successful technologies to replace the use of chemical fertilizer and toxic pesticides by organic fertilizers and biological control agents. Beneficial microorganisms could play a key role to increase agriculture yields and carried out the bioremediation of polluted fields derived from the green revolution practices.

Perspectives

Our principal speculation is that in a short time authors in the field of PGPB and bioremediation will be expanding the knowledge on the development of different formulations containing super-bacteria or a mixture of super-bacteria able to provide beneficial effect for agriculture and bioremediation.
