Biotechnological Potential of Actinomycetes in Jordan for Production of Agrobioproducts

摘要: In the modern and future management practices of plant diseases, there is an urgent need for novel plant disease management different from the currently used agrochemicals regarding their mode of action and strategy of their application. Problems of deleterious effects on the environment of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, antibiotics in addition to the appearance of organisms with resistance resulting from high application rates of these agrochemicals (Cohen and Coffey, 1986; Fruh et al., 1996 and Knight et al., 1997) are the most significant reasons for creation of such new strategies. Chemical and physical methods were established to solve these problems. However, these problems cannot be solved completely without using biological methods and technologies in coordination with agricultural production (Regunold et al., 1990; Parr and Hornick, 1992a).Because of the vast biochemical capabilities of …
