Know about the book -

Bio-control Agents for Sustainable Agriculture is written by Debasis Mitra and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9819632323 (ISBN 10) and 9789819632329 (ISBN 13).

This book covers all aspects of the diversity and core microbiome of the bio-control agents. Their bioprospecting and application at the field level is also discussed. The application of bio-control agents is unique in plant production due to various reasons, including its environment-friendly nature, management of plant resistance and incentivizing the rhizosphere to phyllosphere signaling. The chapters provide information on major plant-associated diversity of beneficial microorganisms, various pathogen management strategies, and improving plant immunity by the application of bio-control agents. Additionally, the exploitation, development, and quality control of bio-control agent-based formulations for farming systems and industrial-level production is discussed. This approach provides a novel framework for fostering sustainable development in crop production and protection. The book targets researchers, microbiology students, the biofertilizers industry, and those in agricultural and environmental fields.
