Excessive use of chemicals and pesticides in agriculture has been widely criticized by both the scientific community and the public. This is due to the negative environmental and safety impacts that result from their use, as well as their tendency to create new strains of pests and pathogens. In response to this, the use of organic products that do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides is increasing.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of various biopesticides used to manage fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. It also covers topics such as the biological control of soil-borne fungi, plant viruses, and the applications of bacteria, Rhizobacteria, and plant species.

The book also addresses traditional aspects of biopesticide management, as well as future prospects and biotechnological approaches and applications. As the biopesticide industry continues to grow and researchers develop new tools and techniques, this volume will serve as a useful resource for managing diseases in an eco-friendly manner.
