Full Description
This book covers biological control in plant pathology from foundational concepts to commercial applications. It examines biological interactions, environmental factors, pathogen-antagonist relationships, and bioagent production systems, and also includes:
Comprehensive coverage of biological control foundations and principles in plant pathology
Detailed analysis of biological interactions including competition, mycoparasitism, and antibiosis
Systematic examination of factors governing biocontrol success in different environments
In-depth study of pathogen-antagonist relationships and bioagent compatibility
Practical guidance on commercial production and delivery systems for biocontrol agents
The book also includes integration strategies for modern farming, biopesticide applications, and regulatory standards for researchers, plant pathologists, and agricultural professionals.
This title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print edition in India.
