English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 246 Pages | ISBN : 178924918X | 3.9 MB
The negative impact of chemical pesticides on human wellbeing and the environment has encouraged the development of eco-friendly alternatives for the management of plant pathogens. However, only a small number of microbial biocontrol agents (mBCAs) have been developed, registered, and used in the management of plant diseases. This book analyzes the deployment of mBCAs for the development of novel microbial biopesticides, considering the main plant-beneficial traits, procedures needed for effective formulations and the processes used for their validation.
