Prospects and limitations of microbial pesticides for control of bacterial and fungal pomefruit tree diseases.

摘要: The tree constitutes an ecosystem in which microorganisms play essential role its functionality. Interactions that establish with plants may be beneficial or detrimental and are of extreme importance the exploitation trees agriculture as crop production systems. Fruit trees, especially pomefruit including apple, pear several ornamentals great economic but is affected by diseases. Fungal bacterial fruit diseases mainly controlled chemical fungicides bactericides, health environmental concerns about use pesticides have result strong regulatory actions stimulated development microbial pesticides. Up to now, been registered different countries EU biocontrol agents (BCA) covering fire blight, soil-borne fungal postharvest rot. key aspects success this technology for disease control related biosafety impact agents, traceability fate environment food chain, improvement physiological, genetic engineering mixtures formulations well industrial delivery systems treatment application trees.
