This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological disease management tactics have emerged as potential alternative to chemical application for containing crop diseases. Biotic and abiotic biological control agents (BCAs) have been demonstrated to be effective against diseases caused by microbial plant pathogens. Combination of biotic and abiotic agents leads to synergism and consequent improvement in the effectiveness of disease control. It is essential to assay the biocontrol potential of all isolates/species of fungal, bacterial and viral biocontrol agents by different techniques in vitro and under greenhouse and field conditions and to precisely identify and differentiate the most effective isolates from less effective ones by employing biological, immunological and nucleic acid-based assays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological control agents and composted materials, including vermicomposts and their water extracts, are used to suppress plant diseases in organic production systems, where fungicide use is limited. The past decade has seen a doubling in organic horticulture and a dramatic increase in vermicompost research. As disease suppression by vermicomposts has been inconsistent, research in this area requires standardization of methods, and compatibility with current biocontrol agents has not been assessed. I tested the disease suppressive abilities and microbial communities of five vermicomposts with differing characteristics, and developed Petri dish and growth chamber assays to examine compatibility with biocontrol agents. In vitro suppression of the pathogens Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-cucumerinum D.J. Vakalounakis (Forc), and Rhizoctonia solani J.G. Kühn, as well as disease suppression on cucumber and radish plants, respectively, was assessed using vermicomposts incorporated into sterilized substrate and using aerated vermicompost water extract. All vermicomposts provided significant pathogen suppression in vitro as well as plant disease suppression. The mechanism for pathogen suppression was negated by autoclaving. A range of responses between the biocontrol agents Bacillus subtilis (Ehrenberg) Cohn strain QST 713 (Rhapsody®) and Clonostachys rosea f. catenulata Samuels, Seifert, and Gams (syn, Gliocladium catenulatum) strain J1446 (Prestop®), and vermicomposts, was observed in vitro. I tested for interactions between these biocontrol agents and vermicomposts as an example of application of a biological control agent to a microbially competitive growth medium using a mixed effects model approach. Consistent antagonistic to neutral interactions in vitro, and a range of interactions from antagonistic to additive in planta, suggest that the interaction between a biocontrol agent and a competitive microbial milieu is not additive. The testing strategies investigated provide an efficient screen of vermicomposts for compatibility with existing biocontrol agents, and of biocontrol agent efficacy in a competitive environment. With improved and consistent testing methods, vermicompost can be a reliable approach for plant disease management in organic agriculture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century has passed since the first bioformulations were introduced to the market. But there is still much to be done, explored and developed. Though bioformulations offer green alternatives and are important for sustainable agriculture, they make up only a small fraction of the total additions used to enhance crop yields or protect them from pests. There is a great need to develop bioformulations that can promote confidence among end users; accordingly, it is imperative that bioformulations to replace chemicals be reliable and overcome the shortcomings of the past. Bioformulations: for Sustainable Agriculture discusses all the issues related to the current limitations and future development of bioformulations. It examines in detail those bioformulations that include biofertilizers and biopesticides (also commonly known as bioinoculants), presenting a global picture of their development. Further chapters address diverse microbes that are already being or could be used as bioformulations. The book also discusses the techniques, tools and other additions required to establish bioformulations as trustworthy and global solutions. It assesses the types of bioformulations currently available on the market, while also considering the future roles of bioformulations, including the reclamation of marginal and polluted soils. Further, it discusses the current legislation and much-needed amendments. Overall the book provides a comprehensive outlook on the status quo of bioformulations and the future approaches needed to improve them and achieve sustainable agriculture and food security without sacrificing the quality of soils. This will be extremely important in offering chemical-free foods and a better future for generations to come.

Book excerpt: The breakthrough resource for fruit and vegetable growers at every scale who want to go “beyond organic” and build higher soil quality and fertility using fewer inputs through a unique ecosystem-balancing approach. The Ecological Farm is the go-to guide for ecological growing, with a unique focus on reduced tillage, minimizing farm and garden inputs, and pest control. Reflecting the wisdom that farmer, consultant, and educator Helen Atthowe and her late husband, Carl Rosato, gained during decades of farming experience, this book guides readers on how to reduce or eliminate the use of outside inputs of fertilizer or pesticides—even those that are commonly used on certified organic orchards and market gardens. In clear language and with color photographs, charts, and graphs throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of managing the details of an entire growing system over the full life of the enterprise. Based on advances in scientific research in ecological food production, farmers, homesteaders, permaculturists, and gardeners alike will learn methods to: • design a farm system that maintains a growing root in the soil year-round to feed the microbial community instead of just crops • strengthen the “immune system” of a farm or garden • supply crop needs using only on-farm inputs such as cover crops and living mulch • maximize the presence of beneficial insects and microbes that support healthy crop development • minimize ecological impact in dealing with insect pest and disease problems This book also features a crop-by-crop guide to growing more than 25 of the most popular and profitable vegetables and fruits, including specific management advice for dealing with pests and diseases. The Ecological Farm makes complex, sometimes messy, ecological concepts and practices understandable to all growers, and makes healthy farming—in which nature is invited to participate—possible.

This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing demographic trends require sustainable technologies to improve quality and yield of future food productions. However, there is uncertainty about plant protection strategies in many agro-ecosystems. Pests, diseases, and weeds are overwhelmingly controlled by chemicals which pose health risks and cause other undesirable effects.Therefore, an increasing concern on control measures emerged in recent years. Many chemicals became questioned with regard to their sustainability and are (or will be) banned. Alternative management tools are studied, relying on biological, and low impact solutions. This ResearchTopic concerns microbial biocontrol agents, root-associated microbiomes, and rhizosphere networks. Understanding how they interact or respond to (a)biotic environmental cues is instrumental for an effective and sustainable impact. The rhizosphere is in this regard a fundamental object of study, because of its role in plant productivity. This e-book provides a polyhedral perspective on many issues in which beneficial microorganisms are involved. Data indeed demonstrate that they represent an as yet poorly-explored resource, whose exploitation may actively sustain plant protection and crop production. Given the huge number of microbial species present on the planet, the microorganisms studied represent just the tip of an iceberg. Data produced are, however, informative enough about their genetic and functional biodiversity, as well as about the ecosystem services they provide to underp in crop production. Challenges for future research work concern not only the biology of these species, but also the practices required to protect their biodiversity and to extend their application in the wide range of agricultural soils and systems present in the world. Agriculture cannot remain successfully and sustainable unless plant germplasm and useful microbial species are integrated, a goal for which new knowledge and information-based approaches are urgently needed.

This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological control has become an attractive alternative strategy for the control of plant diseases to reduce the excessive use of agrochemicals and its health hazards. But a significant gap still exists between basic research involving the discovery of a biocontrol agent and its development and implementation under commercial conditions. Because BCAs (unlike chemical a.m.) need to establish, colonize, survive and perform their metabolic activity to control diseases. In order to move a biocontrol agent from the laboratory to the market place requires many different disciplines and people with a variety of expertise. Research can stimulate the development of commercial biocontrol agents. Chapter 16 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
