This first volume of a two-volume work presents the manifold
applications of beneficial microbes and microbiomes in plant growth
promotion, in enhancing crop resilience and in control of
phytopathogens through microbial antagonists. In-depth insights
into latest technologies such as biopriming of seeds and soil
inoculation of rhizosphere microorganisms are provided. The
two-volume work “Microbial Biocontrol” introduces 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.
