2009
Contents Summary 529 I. Biological control of plant diseases: state of the art 530 II. Main modes of action of biological control agents 530 III. The protective strains of F. oxysporum: an unexplored model 532 IV. Future directions for the study of the protective capacity of strains of F. oxysporum 539 V. How to make biological control successful in the field? 540 References 541 Summary Plant diseases induced by soil-borne plant pathogens are among the most difficult to control. In the absence of effective chemical control methods, there is renewed interest in biological control based on application of populations of antagonistic micro-organisms. In addition to Pseudomonas spp. a…
