The book contains four main sections, covering the status of biopesticides and biocontrol agents in agriculture plant health-promoting biocontrol agents parasitoids and predators genetically modified crops and Bacillus thuringiensis, and phytochemicals in biocontrol The volume provides information regarding new advances in microbial, biochemical, and genetically modified and organic nanoparticles in integrated pest management. It will be a critically important reference work, providing basic facts and studies on new and current discoveries of the role of biopesticides and bioagents in integrated pest management (IPM). This comprehensive volume looks at the status of biopesticides and biocontrol agents in agriculture. Insects, diseases, and weeds cause an almost 30% yield loss per annum in agricultural production, resulting in an increased consumption of pesticides by 20% per annum throughout the world. V.1 - Biological control - concepts and practices Biocontrol agents of plant pathogens: their use and practical constraints Fungi - as agents of biological control Hyperparasites in biological control Trichoderma as a biocontrol agent Management of bacterial populations for foliar disease biocontrol The baculoviruses Biological control of nematodes Biocontrol of weeds with microbes Biological control of sclerotial diseases Biological control of decay fungi in wood v.2 -Biocontrol of rust and leaf spot diseases Biological control, genetic engineering, and crop disease management Plant breeding strategies for biological control of plant diseases Application of biological control agents Potential for biological control of Aspergillus flavus and Aflotoxin contamination Control of toxigenic molds in cereal seeds Aflotoxin contaminatium in maize and its biocontrol Dutch elm disease, a model tree disease for biological control Hypovirulence: a natural control of chestnut blight Biological control of Agrobacterium species Biological control of diseases of fruits Antagonism and biological control Biocontrol of storage mold diseases of seed.
