ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses significant efforts on microbial control with the majority of new principles, community function, and new strategies of microorganism which are emerging and recognizing with many advantages. Microbial control in agriculture is an alternative resource to the use of chemicals to avoid the global crop production losses due to agricultural crop diseases that have been concerned with the mankind since agriculture began. The reduction of the disease or amount of inoculum producing by the pathogenic activity is accomplished by or through microorganism other than man is explained as biological control. In addition of antibiosis, competition and hyperparasitism, efficient microbial agents often express more than one mode of action for suppressing the plant pathogens in disease management. The worldwide understanding on “plant diseases management” has enormously and positively influenced by the dynamics of plant—microbes interactions. General public considerations for microbes are widely regarded as natural and therefore nonthreatening products.
