Plant Protection : : From Chemicals to Biologicals / / ed. by Ravindra Soni, Deep Chandra Suyal, Reeta Goel.

Phyto-pathogens are one of the dominating components which badly affect crop production. In light of the global food demand, sustainable agricultural plans utilizing agrochemicals became necessary. The role of beneficial microbes in the defense priming of host plants has been well documented. This b...
