Abstract
The agricultural microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, enhancing soil fertility, promoting plant health, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. The microbial communities in soil, rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and endosphere form the foundation of sustainable agriculture by regulating nutrient cycles, degrading pollutants, and supporting biodiversity. This paper explores the ecological functions of agricultural microbiomes, their significance in ecosystem management, and strategies to harness microbial diversity for sustainable food production and environmental resilience in India and beyond.
