Biological Control of Plant Diseases and Weeds has been prepared by accumulating information on use and application of biological control; their characters, usage against important diseases and crops and weeds; mechanism of their action in terms of antibiosis, hyperparasitism, induced resistance, signal transduction, cross protection; ecological behaviour of bioagents due to abiotic and biotic factors mainly, soil, pH, temperature, cropping patterns, use of pesticides and fertilizers; interaction with other microorganisms; biological control of weeds; development of formulations; application registration requirements and successful demonstration of biological control of some diseases in India. Practicals dealing with the isolation, identification, characterization, morphological and molecular characterization of microbes, ecological parameters, isolation of pathogen against weeds and their bioformulation and their commercial implications have been dealt so as to make the subject easy and clear for the students, researchers and other stakeholders. This book will provide base information to the teachers of the subject of biological control. …
