Bacteriophages for Plant Disease Control
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2007The use of phages for disease control is a fast expanding area of plant protection with great potential to replace the chemical control measures now prevalent. Phages can be used effectively as part of integrated disease management strategies. The relative ease of preparing phage treatments and low cost of production of these agents make them good ...

Bacterial control of plant diseases
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2000This article focuses on the effective biocontrol of plant diseases by microorganisms, which is attracting attention as an alternative to chemical control methods. As most research has so far been concentrated on fluorescent Pseudomonas species, the use of Bacillus species which has been considered to be less effective compared to that of pseudomonads ...

Biological Control of Plant Diseases
2000The present chapter reviews the question of developing a microbial control method of plant diseases. All problems which may occur, from the initial screening of an efficient biocontrol agent to the final step of integration of the biological control method into the crop management system are briefly examined.

ANTIBIOTICS IN THE CONTROL OF PLANT DISEASES
Annual Review of Microbiology, 1958The use of antibiotics is a comparatively new method of plant disease control, but antibiosis, or antagonistic phenomena among microorganisms, and its relation to plant diseases have been recognized for more than 75 years. Gliotoxin, the first antibiotic to be used for plant disease control, was isolated and purified by a plant pathologist even before ...

Control of Plant Virus Diseases
2006Publisher Summary This chapter emphasizes the importance of dissecting the different ways in which diverse types of virus control measures operate before taking decisions on which to deploy. Some control measures are nonselective affecting a wide range of viral pathogens or their vectors, but others are selective targeting a particular virus or ...
