Antifungal Metabolites of Rhizobacteria for Sustainable Agriculture
focuses on plant health in agro-ecosystems of various economically
important cash and food crops with a concern to promote sustainable
agriculture. They have emerged as a key organic tool for enhancing
yields. In a natural environment the interactions between plants
and phytopathogenic fungi are complex and survival requires a
development of resistance to plant diseases. Diversity of Plant
Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) diversity depends on the
nature of root exudates and soil conditions that affect their
interaction with host plants. Novel strategies, such as, applying
bioactive natural products against the pathogenic fungus are
required to control disease sustainably. Various classes of
secondary metabolites including lipopeptides, macrolides,
alkaloids, terpenoids and phenolics from microorganisms and plants
strongly suppress fungal growth and can also be effective in
controlling plant diseases both in vitro and in vivo. The modes of
actions of some potential antifungal secondary metabolites against
pathogenic fungus are also discussed. Eco-friendly fungal species
and their metabolites are excellent agents used for regulating
various fungal and bacterial phytopathogens and may have tremendous
potential for other applications, and play a key role in enhancing
plant tolerance to stress. Antifungal Metabolites of Rhizobacteria
for Sustainable Agriculture also covers bovine-based formulations
used for sustainable production and nutritional security through
horticultural crops, thereby addressing the problems associated
with malnutrition and under-nutrition encountered by small and
marginal farmers, as well as by families facing resource
constraints. These techniques can also improve breathable air,
drinkable water, and consumable foods. This book addresses the need
to mitigate the health problems of people via organic crop
production and to improve the socio-economic status of farmers
(especially in developing countries), and to revitalize
agricultural sustainability.
