Bacteriophages for Plant Disease Control (Hardcover)

The growing need for increased food production globally has led the
farmers and scientists equally to devise means to increase plant
productivity through several practices, including disease
management. A number of plant diseases caused by bacteria have huge
economic impact on global crop productivity. Although chemical
control practices may be effective, they pose a threat to the
environment and to the food chain. With the discovery of
antibiotics in the 1940s, the concept of using bacteriophages was
abandoned. However, its use has re-emerged, and is a rapidly
growing area for controlling bacterial plant pathogens. In this
book, we present the historical and recent developments, concepts,
factors, challenges and concerns of using bacteriophages for plant
disease control. We hope that the book will be a valuable reference
for students, researchers, teachers as well as agriculturists while
choosing environmentally safe and sustainable plant pest management
techniques.
