Microbes and Microbial Products in Plant Protection

  • Chapter
Progress in Botany

Part of the book series: Progress in Botany/Fortschritte der Botanik ((BOTANY,volume 53))

Abstract

The scenario of plant protection by pesticide use has in the last decades been influenced by three important parameters

  • very few new introductions of fungicides built on new molecules with new modes of action;

  • resistance toward the major classes of chemicals is building up;

  • growing concern in the public regarding pesticide residues in the environment.

All three parameters suggest a favorable option for biological plant protection agents to take more than just a niche of the total commercial market. However , the biological products to date only make up approx 1% of the global market. Behind this figure is only one real success story: the Bacillus thuringiensis insecticide products. The Bt products constitute more than half of the biological products in use; and they fulfil what is wanted from a biological, in leaving no residue problem, in being specific in its activity, giving no harmful effect on the rest of the fauna, being safe in use as well as in production, and still being efficient when used properly.
