Metabolites of some biological control agents

Pesticide Science, 1995
AbstractThe evidence is reviewed for the structure and biosynthesis of some metabolites of Trichoderma and Gliocladium species that are being considered as fungal biological control agents. The diverse biosynthetic capability of these organisms is proposed as a criterion for their potential application as bio‐control agents.
