Biological Management of Diseases of Crops Volume 1: Characteristics of Biological Control Agents /

With growing concern for environmental pollution and presence of chemical residues in grains, vegetables, fruits and other food materials, biological disease management tactics have emerged as potential alternative to chemical application for containing crop diseases. Biological control agents (BCAs...
