9780443238185: Environmentally Safe Strategies for Plant Protection Against Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

Synopsis

Environmentally Safe Strategies for Plant Protection Against Biotic and Abiotic Stresses presents environmentally friendly and safe methods for plant protection against not only biotic stresses caused by various pathogens and pests, but also against abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, UV radiations, flood, unfavorable temperature, and pH, etc. The book aims to present approaches for both abiotic and biotic stresses, providing a valuable, integrated view to inspire new research as well as to implement and develop new practices.

As global demand for organic food and feed products increases, it is necessary to focus on research areas related to discovery, application and demonstrating the modes of action of natural compounds obtained from various plants or mushrooms, as well as beneficial microbes and their metabolites involved in plant protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. These natural compounds, biocontrol agents and their volatile or non-volatile metabolites, which might have direct antagonism against phytopathogens and pests or indirect effect via induction of plant defense, could be formulated and used with high durability to control various environmental stresses in an eco-friendly manner.
