Trends in Ecology & Evolution
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 ...

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 ...

Plant pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, etc., which cause various diseases in crop plants, are controlled by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The mechanisms of biocontrol may be competition or antagonism; however, the most studied phenomenon is the induction of systemic resistance by these rhizobacteria in the host ...

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
