The use of microbial plant protection products is growing and their
importance will strongly increase due to political and public
pressure. World population is growing and the amount of food needed
by 2050 will be double of what is produced now whereas the area of
agricultural land is decreasing. We must increase crop yield in a
sustainable way. Chemical plant growth promoters must be replaced
by microbiological products. Also here, the use of microbial
products is growing and their importance will strongly increase. A
growing area of agricultural land is salinated. Global warming will
increase this process. Plants growth is inhibited by salt or even
made impossible and farmers tend to disuse the most salinated
lands. Microbes have been very successfully used to alleviate salt
stress of plants. Chemical pollution of land can make plant growth
difficult and crops grown are often polluted and not suitable for
consumption. Microbes have been used to degrade these chemical
pollutants.
