Abstract
Agriculturally beneficial microorganisms are an important tool for soil and plant health management. Cyanobacteria are best known for their ability to fix nitrogen, degrade organic waste and remediate heavy metals, agrochemicals and other pollutants. They are also involved in nutrient cycling and suppression of phytopathogens and also produce plant growth-promoting substances such as vitamins, hormones and enzymes. Cyanobacteria-based inoculants can improve the soil and plant health as well as minimize the cost of crop production. In this chapter, we are going to elaborate beneficial effects of cyanobacteria.
