Abstract

Microbial bio-control agents play an important role in integrated pest management in modern agriculture for managing pests without affecting environment and humans. Recently, microbial bio-control agents are gaining more attention as they are easy to use, safe and an alternative eco-friendly approach of hazardous pesticide chemicals. Biological control agents are ecologically sustainable and effective crop protection approach in agriculture and horticultural crops including organic systems. Predator, parasitism or other natural mechanism can be use to reduce the pest such as insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases.
