Microbial mapping: perspective and opportunities in tea soil of N. E. India

P. N. Bhattacharyya

Abstract :

Tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze], belongs to the family Theaceae, is an economically important non–alcoholic, aromatic beverage yielding perennial crop, extensively cultivated in India. The present report indicates the perspective of mapping microbial biodiversity in tea ecosystem with special reference to region specific beneficial microorganisms like plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPMs). The present focus on microbial mapping in tea is important to improve our understanding on soil microbial diversities as well as their functional properties more precisely than earlier, since the knowledge on native or putative beneficial microbial categories can directly affect wide range of ecosystem processes relating to the assessment of the quality of our environment.
