Biocontrol Agents Against Diseases
2020Biological control against plant diseases has been extensively studied in recent decades, leading to the identification and development of a significant number of biocontrol agents with various modes of action. Considerable scientific and industrial investments are needed for the development and the commercialization of these protection tools.

Biocontrol—risky but necessary?
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1998There is currently much debate concerning the risks of biological control and the potential harmful effects of nonindigenous species introduced for controlling exotic pests. Biocontrol advocates generally appear reluctant to accept the possibility that there could be side-effects associated with biocontrol, often refuting evidence of harmful effects ...

Biocontrol agents can significantly reduce the growth and performance of individual invasive plants but often have limited success in controlling invasions. Here, we suggest that some biocontrol failures may be understood by distinguishing between individual plant performance and the performance of groups growing in monoculture.

Exploitation of mycoparasites as biocontrol agents in agriculture is well-documented. A number of them have shown potential to control Rhizoctonia solani in a diversity of crops or sites, alone or integrated with chemical or mechanical techniques. In respect to the pathogen’s behaviour on the plant surface, the biocontrol effect ranges from niche ...

The negative impact of chemical pesticides on human wellbeing and the environment has encouraged the development of eco-friendly alternatives for the management of plant pathogens. However, only a small number of microbial biocontrol agents (mBCAs) have been developed, registered and used in the management of plant diseases.

Uncoupling virulence and biocontrol
Nature Microbiology, 2019The secondary metabolite cepacin A is the essential compound made by Burkholderia ambifaria needed for biocontrol of plant pathogens. In this organism, genes responsible for virulence and for cepacin A biosynthesis reside on different replicons, allowing for the engineering of avirulent mutants that retain their biocontrol properties.

Bacteriophage (phage) therapy, or the therapeutic use of phage for the treatment of bacterial diseases, is a classical approach that was originally disregarded due to inconsistent results and with the advent of antibiotic drugs. However, with a greater understanding of phage biology and the pressing need for new and innovative antimicrobial strategies ...

Today, in terms of food safety and biocontrol, sales professionals promote phages as 'natural born killers'. This is mainly because bacteriophages feature unique and efficient mechanisms to specifically target and eliminate bacteria. According to the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, tailed phages are further separated into three distinct

Biocontroller Activity Macromycetes
Advances in Image and Video ProcessingDiseases caused by phytopathogens cause great damage in agricultural production and with it great economic losses. Today a wide variety of macromycetes are known capable of eliminating pests in a crop without having to use agrochemicals, which we know are harmful to the soil and the environment, however thousands of tons of agrochemicals are applied ...
