8 Role of microbial endophytes and their oxidases on effective biocontrol activity against different pathogens of cereal crops in India
-
Santosh Kumar Sethi
Abstract
Modern agriculture focuses on the growth of crop plants through potential plant-microbial interactions. Microbial bioinoculants for biofertilizers and biocontrol provide growth and protection to crop plants against different phytopathogens. Use of microbial bioinoculants, based on the selection of potential strains with biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, is one of the best practices for modern agriculture. Examining biofertilizer and biocontrol technology rooted in endophytic plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, both of which present unique challenges in their production and application, revealed that the variability in the performance of microorganisms isolated from different climatic conditions was a notable issue. However, a thorough understanding of each microbiological habitat and microbial populations and their different mechanisms of action rely on the product development. This work focuses on innovative ideas to identify and screen the efficient microbial endophytes, especially from cereals and other crops, as best biofertilizers, which lead to their adoption in biocontrol technology practices against different phytopathogens of crops. Recent agrotechnological processes have encountered challenges in the quest to cultivate native microbial bioinoculants, including endophytes, with the aim of harnessing their potential as a biocontrol solution against phytopathogens affecting cereal crops in the coming years.
