Biological Control of the Plant Pathogens
Subject
Microorganisms
Description
One of the greatest challenges facing agricultural scientists is developing efficient
technologies for sustainable and eco-friendly management of crop losses caused by
plant pathogens. The effectiveness of microbial biocontrol agents (BCAs) in ensuring food
security has garnered global attention, both for halting pre-harvest crop losses and for
enhancing crop yields. Harnessing the potential of BCAs could not only aid in the
transition to sustainable agriculture, but it would ultimately benefit farmers by reducing
the crop loss burden. Considering the recent developments in this area, this volume
offers novel insights into the management strategies for major soilborne plant
pathogens. Additionally, it explores the biocontrol potential of novel volatile compounds,
defense inducers, and genetically engineered strains of BCAs.
