Prevent agricultural loss with natural disease controls that don't
harm the environment--or the people who live in it Despite the
worldwide use of chemicals and pesticides to control the
devastating effects of plant disease, the international
agribusiness market still suffers extensive economic losses each
year. Biological Control of Plant Diseases offers natural
alternatives to the synthetic fungicides, pesticides, herbicides,
and insecticides that have not only failed to stop pests and
pathogens, but have raised serious safety and environmental
concerns. The world's leading plant pathologists examine the use of
antagonistic microorganisms, inherent resistance, and natural
fungicides for plant protection that's safe, economical, and
effective. Biological Control of Plant Diseases presents up-to-date
research findings on disease management to provide you with a
single-source reference text for developing a sustainable ecosystem
that doesn't depend on harmful and unhealthy agrochemicals. This
unique book acts as a catalyst for change, presenting fresh ideas
and innovative strategies for finding meaningful solutions to the
problems of disease control. Contributors working in the areas of
plant protection, microbiology, plant pathology, biotechnology,
ecology, and food safety examine topics that include the
application of plant tissue culture, competitive root colonization,
mycorrhiza in biocontrol, microbial siderophores, antagonism, and
genetic regulation. Topics addressed in Biological Control of Plant
Diseases include: soil-borne pathogens rhizobacteria organic acids
white rot Trichoderma and Agrobacterium phyllosphere manure-based
microbes gray mold disease major fungal diseases mycoparasitism
microbial chitinases and much moreBiological Control of Plant
