Biotic Stress Management in Horticultural Crops Using Microbial Intervention

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rhizosphere Microbes

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 23))

Abstract

Soils are naturally gifted with beneficial microflora and fauna that innately help the natural process of pest, disease, and nematode suppression. The diversity of the soil biota in many ways helps to maintain the stability and promote antagonistic potential, which decides soil health and crop productivity. Utilizing this soil biota for environmentally safe crop productivity is the utmost need of the hour, especially in horticultural crops, which are consumed afresh. Environmental concerns over conventional pesticides have led to increasing demand in the use of biological control agents, especially the microbial biopesticides, for production of safe horticultural produce. This chapter throws light on array of microbes that can be effectively deployed for managing the biotic stress due to diseases, pests, and nematodes in horticultural crops; their modes of action, commercial aspects, and problems to be addressed for successful large scale adoption.
