Using Fungi and Bacteria as Biological Control Agents of Fungal Plant Diseases an article

Abstract

Treating fungus-related plant diseases, biological control is an efficient and environmental friendly. It could be a substitute for addition to conventional pesticides, Plant diseases drastically reduced productivity and quality of agricultural yields by severely damaging or destroying crops all over the world. In this review, the antagonistic activity of bacterial and fungal biocontrol agents was discussed.The various fungal genera and bacteria have several use in both the natural and commercial worlds. In addition to their significant roles in the ecosystem, the antagonistic features of the fungal and bacterial species have been exploited as biological control agents (BCA) in the treatment of plant diseases. The ability of fungal biological control agents (FBCAs) to prevent disease is comparable to the use of synthetic chemicals, it is necessary to consider the availability of synthetic pesticides that are secured, environmentally friendly, and financially viable. It is thought that using microorganisms for biological management of pests is a practical strategy that can significantly reduce the negative effects of agrochemicals in soil. This study covers fungi and bacteria genera as BCA and calls for modifications to research and development to improve PDM. For increasing crop yield in sustainable agriculture.
