"Pathogenic fungi cause numerous economic and environmental issues globally that need to be addressed by powerful fungicides. In order to battle the rapidly developing resistant strains of harmful fungus, new fungicide discovery and development is essential. Farmers' increased adoption of bio fungicides would undoubtedly benefit from the emphasis on organic farming as well as residue-free products. The use of fungicides reduces crop productivity because chemically synthesized pesticides are, without a doubt, quick to act, but they also cause numerous environmental and health problems such as the revival of new pests, fungal resistance, loss of soil fertility, and the persistence of toxic substances when consumed by animals and humans. In seventeen chapters, the proposed book discusses the need to develop new antifungals, and improvement of regulations regarding antifungal use. Safe biofungicide-treated crops will acquire additional value since they are devoid of chemical residues, decay, and suspected human-health infections, supporting a global demand of product quality"--

"Fungal diseases are a major issue for sustainable agriculture since they reduce crop yields and require money to treat. Microbial antagonists have been utilized in biocontrol measures to limit the frequency of fungal infections to solve this problem. This involves using integrated disease management (IDM) to suppress pathogen populations, which combine chemical and biological control techniques. When used as part of an integrated pest management program, Trichoderma and Bacillus, for example, can produce systemic resistance in plants, making them more resistant to fungal infections. The current volume investigates various biocontrol agents and their antifungal actions against pathogenic fungi"--

Although chemical pesticides safeguard crops and improve farm productivity, they are increasingly feared for their potentially dangerous residues and their effects on ecosystems. The Future Role of Pesticides explores the role of chemical pesticides in the decade ahead and identifies the most promising opportunities for increasing the benefits and reducing the risks of pesticide use. The committee recommends R&D, program, and policy initiatives for federal agriculture authorities and other stakeholders in the public and private sectors. This book presents clear overviews of key factors in chemical pesticide use, including: Advances in genetic engineering not only of pest-resistant crops but also of pests themselves. Problems in pesticide useâ€"concerns about the health of agricultural workers, the ability of pests to develop resistance, issues of public perception, and more. Impending shifts in agricultureâ€"globalization of the economy, biological "invasions" of organisms, rising sensitivity toward cross-border environmental issues, and other trends. With a model and working examples, this book offers guidance on how to assess various pest control strategies available to today's agriculturist.

Molecular Aspects of Plant Beneficial Microbes in Agriculture explores their diverse interactions, including the pathogenic and symbiotic relationship which leads to either a decrease or increase in crop productivity. Focusing on these environmentally-friendly approaches, the book explores their potential in changing climatic conditions. It presents the exploration and regulation of beneficial microbes in offering sustainable and alternative solutions to the use of chemicals in agriculture. The beneficial microbes presented here are capable of contributing to nutrient balance, growth regulators, suppressing pathogens, orchestrating immune response and improving crop performance. The book also offers insights into the advancements in DNA technology and bioinformatic approaches which have provided in-depth knowledge about the molecular arsenal involved in mineral uptake, nitrogen fixation, growth promotion and biocontrol attributes.
