Microorganisms play an enormously important role in plant disease control. Research on
biological control of plant pathogens has received major impetus and attracted many …

Biological control of plant pathogens can no longer be considered to be of just academic
interest. In 1995, there were reported to be at least 30 commercial biocontrol agents for the …

A large number of eco-friendly and potential fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes for biocontrol
of plant diseases have been identified (Table I). Several commercial formulations of fungal …

In a narrow sense, biocontrol suppresses pest organisms with other organisms. However,
the multiple interactions among organisms and their environment can contribute to effective …

The objective of this study was to review the published research works on biological control
of fungal plant diseases during past 50 years. Fungal plant pathogens are among the most …

Plant fungal diseases are the most destructive diseases where the fungal pathogens attack

Biological control agents (BCAs) play an interesting role in improving plant health in the
world. BCAs include three groups such as microbes, animals, and plants. The big difference …

Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food, feed,
and fiber produced by growers around the world. Different approaches may be used to …

This review addresses examples of biological control of plant pathogens by bacterial agents
which have already reached the market or are likely to be exploited commercially within the …
