Abstract Agriculture is the backbone of developing countries, which plays an essential role in primary drivers economy. The increasing use chemical fertilizers and toxic insecticides endangers health human, plant soils, environment. Microbial have been implemented current scenario for crop protection. Biological agents pest control gained more attention recent year as substitutes management pests pathogens. It provides a sustainable approach to assists minimize excessive applications substances. antagonistic microbes belong six different phyla including Bacillota, Actinomycetota, Pseudomonadota, Bacteroidota Mucoromycota. pesticides developed through number processes, extraction pure culture screening using effectiveness bioassays under controlled natural conditions. (BCAs) are recognized be most sophisticated technology environmentally friendly agriculture. various beneficial BCAs reported health, but they required effective acceptance together with standardization bioformulation. present review deals development microbial agents, mechanisms actions, their potential agricultural productivity.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) are obligate plant parasites that constitute a significant pest for agriculture worldwide. They penetrate the roots, reducing uptake of water and nutrients, causing impact on crop yield. One alternative focus now nematode management is biological control. Rhizobacteria within Bacillus genus show multiple modes action against plant-parasitic (PPNs) can act alone or in combination. In this context, we evaluated dual-strain bacteria combination ( B. paralicheniformi FMCH001 subtilis FMCH002) to reduce infection tomato plants. We mortality larvae from javanica vitro , as well eggs hatching after treatment. Atraction, penetration, establishment, reproduction assays pots plants infected with M. treated/ untreated were also performed. Additionally, morphometric parameters comparing giant cells size galls treated by using confocal microscopy measured. The results showed strains has nematicidal properties pre-infection phase decreasing egg-hatching, juvenile survival, attractiveness roots. Furthermore, gall formation, and, remarkably, cell development was severely impaired bacterial treatment, suggesting interference morphogenetic mechanisms induced during GCs plant. Nematode reduced independently application mode soil, before effective other PPNs (i.e. Pratylenchus different crops (soybean). Therefore, combining paralicheniformis FMCH002 an efficient agent control spp. interfering stages cycle result action.

Abstract Plant pathogens and pests pose an increasing threat to worldwide food security. To improve strengthen security under increasingly difficult environmental, economic, geopolitical conditions, the prospect of using microbial biocontrol agents becomes desirable. One most studied, commercially used, biopesticide microorganisms is entomopathogenic, gram-positive, soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). While Bt has been known for many years as insecticidal microorganism used extensively in agriculture, its possible anti-phytopathogen plant growth-promoting activities have received comparatively limited attention thus far. Here, we examine ability promote systemic immunity tomato plants. We investigate how influences disease resistance against several fungal bacterial pathogens, well arthropod pests. In order determine which component (i.e., spores or pure crystals) responsible observed effects on pests, dissected different fractions present a commercial preparation assessed their pest pathogen control. As previously reported literature, our results indicate that proteins produced by are likely primary acting components case however, it appears both directly act such fungus Botrytis cinerea . Spores also induce immunity. Understanding mode action mechanisms will help developing cost-effective safe protection strategies enhancing Taken together, findings suggest could be broad-spectrum management strategies. Pending validation agricultural settings, products market additional uses sustainable growth promotion.

Organic farming, characterized by the exclusion of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, represents a sustainable approach to agriculture. This study investigates impact organic farming practices on soil health, focusing proliferation activity microorganisms. Natural such as farmyard manure, poultry litter, composts, green manures, oil-free cakes were utilized enhance fertility. The research reveals that these significantly improve health fostering robust microbiome, which is essential cycling nutrients overall vitality. safety nutritional benefits food products also evaluated. Comparative analysis with conventionally grown foods indicates produce contains lower levels harmful residues nitrates, metals, antibiotics. reduction in contaminants mitigates potential risks human associated conventional practices. Furthermore, are found be richer nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, thereby offering superior value. economic implications explored, highlighting its viability small-scale farmers. With increasing consumer awareness demand for products, farmers practicing methods can command higher prices their produce, improving sustainability resilience. In conclusion, emerges an environmentally friendly economically viable alternative By promoting reducing food, meeting nutritious offers pathway towards agricultural

The broader use of botanical pesticides has been limited by shorter residual activity on plants, slower onset action, and higher costs compared with conventional pesticides. These challenges could be overcome the development simple, cost-effective, long-lasting preventive nanocomposites for In this study, we successfully developed a low-cost ethyl cellulose (EC)-based delivery system pesticide osthole (OST), designed to provide extended protection against Tetranychus urticae infestations. A comparative analysis three (graphene oxide (GO)-OST, EC-OST, chitosan (CS)-OST) revealed that EC-OST exhibited superior thermal stability, UV resistance, controlled release OST payload, strong acaricidal activity. degradation leaf surfaces was reduced encapsulation in EC, while its penetration into plant tissues improved. When applied leaves, an increase T. mortality, reduction reproduction egg adhesion, impairment feeding behavior through searching times were observed. peak occurrence infestation delayed 10 days following application reducing damage protecting plants more than 20 days. This nanoinsecticide allows low-frequency application, farmers' production costs, increasing profitability, thereby offering great potential promoting protection.

Mango anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides), is a major postharvest disease that significantly impacts mango production and consumption globally. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effect of plant extracts hot water treatments on development preservation quality in mangoes. In vitro tests using food poisoning technique assessed efficacy acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol from nine different medicinal species against C. gloeosporioides. Among tested extracts, Ruta chalepensis demonstrated most pronounced effect, inhibiting mycelial growth by more than 85%. Extracts Allium sativum also reduced 80%. Furthermore, aqueous three effective identified were with (HWT) their impact managing anthracnose. The (p < 0.05) affected substantial reduction severity was observed involving R. A. at temperatures 55 °C 50 °C. These improved fruit marketability maintained quality. conclusion, application HWT °C, as well extract same temperatures, effectively intensity over 80% without affecting indicators such weight loss, TSS, pH, TA.

The clove stem borer (Nothopeus hemipterus) is a major pest causing significant economic losses in cultivation. In Samigaluh, most farmers rely on chemical pesticides for control. However, essential oils and entomopathogenic fungi offer safer more sustainable alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate their effectiveness determine the suitable control method. research was conducted Kayugedhe Hamlet, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, from April September 2022. A randomized completely block design used with different treatments, including (fipronil, acephate, profenofos), botanical (10% neem oil 10% citronella oil), biological (Beauveria bassiana at 1 × 10⁸ CFU/mL), were applied using hydraulic pump wax-sealing method larval entry holes. Larval mortality recorded weekly four weeks. results showed that application of bassiana) led rates 78% 75%, respectively, which comparable fipronil (80%) acephate (81%). contrast, N. hemipterus larvae exhibited lower susceptibility profenofos, rate only 47%, suggesting potential resistance. These findings indicate B. extract could serve as effective environmentally friendly alternatives controlling borer.
