Overview

  • Establish a list of the main species of organisms in the soil and be aware of their classification based on modern classification criteria and discuss the positive and negative roles of microorganisms in the soil.
  • Recognize the role of microbiology in the degradation of organic matter in soil. and discuss the microbial role in carbon and nitrogen cycles, phosphate, sulfur, and iron in soil. Understanding factors affecting the presence and activities of microbiology in different types of soil.
  • Isolate and identify microorganisms that contribute to soil fertility such as: Isolation and definition of cellulose, starch, lignin and pectin analyzing citria Isolation and definition of nitrifying bacteria. Isolate and define nitrogen stabilization bacteria from root nodes.
  • Describe the relationships between microorganisms in the soil and describe the overlap between the plant and microbiology, especially roots, mycoriza and nitrogen stabilization.
  • Understanding and interpreting sources of raw materials on the diversity of soil microbiology aggregates. And realize how to prepare the form of a microbiological vaccine that is suitable for each crop. And listing the roles of lactic acid bacteria in silage processing.
