Description

The demand for agricultural production input reductions while maintaining lucrative yields of high-quality goods is rising as a result of the global sustainability agenda. Plant diseases are a significant barrier to both output and product quality, yet frequently the instruments needed to combat them are insufficient or nonexistent. Long-term research into biological control utilising antagonistic microbes has produced a wide range of products that are now marketed in particular regions of the world. These medications are frequently specialised items with constrained applications. A plant often develops a disease when its normal structure, growth, function, or other activities are persistently interfered with by some causal agent, leading to an aberrant physiological process. Characteristic diseased diseases or symptoms are brought on by this interference with one or more of a plant's vital physiological or biochemical systems. The principal causative agent of plant diseases can be roughly categorised as either infectious or noninfectious. A pathogenic organism is the cause of infectious plant diseases. The book Biological Control of Plant Diseases and Weeds was created by compiling knowledge on the characteristics of biological controls, their use, and their application. The teachers of the subject of biological control will benefit from the foundational knowledge in this book.
