A weed, a kind of pest, is a plant growing where it is not desired, or a plant out of its place. Weeds are a major threat to biodiversity and agricultural productivity. The annual losses caused by weeds has been estimated to over US$26 billion in the USA, AU$ 3.3 billion in Australia and US$ 11 billion in India exclusively in 10 major crops. The rising awareness about the potential health risk with chemical residues among individuals and farmers, emphasis is on growing organic crops to keep us healthy and a long life. In addition, the constant use of herbicides in agriculture system also paves the way for the emergence of resistance of weed variety. Bioherbicides, an eco-friendly alternative to non-chemical management of weeds, are defined as the formulations based on indigenous living host-specific microorganisms and ancillary components applied in an inundative manner similar to chemical herbicides. The term microbial herbicide preferably be used for microbial-based formulations. These are derived from fungi, bacteria and viruses. The bioherbicides market is rapidly growing and expected to witness market growth at a rate of 15% and is expected to reach US$1.84 by 2029. In spite of all efforts, acceptance of bioherbicides by the users is low due to a wide range of constraints (e.g., environmental, technological, host-specificity, regulatory, funding and human-related). Environmental conditions playing a significant role on the microbial germination, penetration, infection and biocontrol efficacy of the target host. Twenty-six microbe-based herbicides have been developed globally. At present, 13 bioherbicides are available in the market namely DeVineTM, CollegoTM (LockdownR), BioMalR, BioChonTM, MycoTechTM, Chontrol™ (EcoClearTM), SmolderR, SarritorTM, SolvinixR, Gibbartrianth, BiophomaTM and Di-Bak ParkinsoniaR. For successful deployment of bioherbicides into agriculture, horticulture and forestry, in addition to boosting their market, scientists need to develop consumer-friendly bioherbicides with a long-shelf life, non-effected by environmental conditions, ability to control varied weeds in a crop, and with a biocontrol efficacy better than or at par with the synthetic herbicides. Objective of this review is to discuss biocontrol strategies for controlling weeds, phases of bioherbicide development, market, current global status, development of currently available bioherbicides, constraints/limitations in their production & demand and future prospects for their adoption in weed management system.

“…There have been bioherbicide efforts related to phytotoxic allelochemicals (e.g., strigolactones, plant extracts) and plant pathogens (e.g., Fusarium oxysporum ). Yet, there are fewer than two dozen registered bioherbicides in the world and most have not seen success commercially 1,19,20 …”

The high‐level view of global food systems identifies three all‐encompassing barriers to the adoption of food systems solutions: knowledge, policy, and finance. These barriers, and the siloed characteristics of each of these, have hindered the development and adoption of microbial herbicides. How knowledge, policy, and finance are related to the Toothpick Project's path of commercializing a new bioherbicide, early in the scope of the industry, is discussed here. The Toothpick Project's innovation, developed over four decades and commercialized in 2021, uses strains of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. strigae selected for overproduction and excretion of specific amino acids, killing the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica (Striga or witchweed), Africa's worst pest threat to food security. Historically, bioherbicides have not been a sufficient alternative to the dominant use of synthetic chemical herbicides. To be used safely as bioherbicides, plant pathogens need to be host specific, non‐toxic, and yet sufficiently virulent to control a specific weed. For commercialization, bioherbicides must be affordable and require a sufficient shelf life for distribution. Given the current triple storm encountered by the chemical herbicide industry (herbicide‐resistant weeds, lawsuits, and consumer pushback), there exists an opportunity to use certain plant pathogens as bioherbicides by enhancing their virulence. By discussing barriers in the scope of knowledge, policy, and finance in the development of the Toothpick Project's new microbial bioherbicide, we hope to help others to anticipate the challenges and provide change‐leaders, particularly in policy and finance, a ground level perspective of bioherbicide development.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Among the processes applied in the production of microbe-based products (e.g., microbial biomass, enzymes, cell metabolites, etc), submerged state fermentation (SmSF)—also known as liquid state fermentation or submerged liquid fermentation—is the most used technology [ 60 ]. However, based on the requirements of microbe/microbes, the growth media, resources, and energy inputs (i.e., large amounts of water and costs of agitation and aeration), and equipment, SmSF could be expensive, resulting in a non-economically sustainable process [ 61 ].…”

Solid-State Fermentation: Applications and Future Perspectives for Biostimulant and Biopesticides Production

et al. 2023

With the expansion of the green products market and the worldwide policies and strategies directed toward a green revolution and ecological transition, the demand for innovative approaches is always on the rise. Among the sustainable agricultural approaches, microbial-based products are emerging over time as effective and feasible alternatives to agrochemicals. However, the production, formulation, and commercialization of some products can be challenging. Among the main challenges are the industrial production processes that ensure the quality of the product and its cost on the market. In the context of a circular economy, solid-state fermentation (SSF) might represent a smart approach to obtaining valuable products from waste and by-products. SSF enables the growth of various microorganisms on solid surfaces in the absence or near absence of free-flowing water. It is a valuable and practical method and is used in the food, pharmaceutical, energy, and chemical industries. Nevertheless, the application of this technology in the production of formulations useful in agriculture is still limited. This review summarizes the literature dealing with SSF agricultural applications and the future perspective of its use in sustainable agriculture. The survey showed good potential for SSF to produce biostimulants and biopesticides useful in agriculture.
