This second volume of a two-volume work reviews beneficial
bioactive compounds from various microorganisms such as bacteria,
fungi, cyanobacteria in plant diseases management and the
postharvest management of fruits using microbial antagonists.
Furthermore, it reviews the impact of climate change on food
security and addressed the legal aspects of microbial biocontrol
applications. The two-volume work "Microbial Biocontrol" introduces
to mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions and explores latest
strategies of how microbes can be applied in biocontrol and
management of plant pathogens, replacing chemical fertilizers and
pesticides. The book covers different groups of microorganisms such
as bacteria, fungi, but also the interplay of entire microbiomes,
and reviews their specific benefits in crop growth promotion, in
enhancing the plants' tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress
as well as in post-harvest management of various plant diseases.
Novel tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 and microbe derived nanoparticles
are also addressed besides the legal aspects of biocontrol
applications. Today, rising global population and changing climatic
conditions emerge as a major challenge for agronomist farmers and
researchers in fulfilling the requirements of global food
production. The conventional agricultural practices utilize
undistributed use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to enhance
growth and yield of agricultural products and fresh foods, but
their extensive and continuous use have led to a range of negative
consequences on the food quality and safety, to environment as well
as to human and animal health. Microbial biocontrol applications
are presented as a solution, paving the way to a sustainable
agriculture in compliance with the UN Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG). The book addresses researchers in academia and agriculture.
