About this title

Synopsis

Modern agriculture faces one of its greatest paradoxes: while it needs to produce more food to feed a growing global population, it must do so with less environmental impact, fewer chemical residues, and greater ecological responsibility. In this context, biological control of plant diseases emerges as one of the most promising and necessary strategies for the 21st century.This book compiles and systematizes the available scientific knowledge on the potential of Trichoderma spp. isolates in the management of Rhizoctonia solani, a soil-borne pathogen of great agroeconomic significance. Throughout the five chapters, the reader will find an in-depth analysis of the biology and pathogenicity of R. solani, the mechanisms of action of Trichoderma spp., the efficacy of isolates in controlling the plant pathogen, the main experimental methods used in laboratory research, and the prospects for integrated disease management in the context of agricultural sustainability.
