anti fungal activity of bacteria and involvement of chitinase
Increased public health concern about the accumulation of pesticide residue in the biosphere and the development of resistance among pathogens against conventional antibiotics has led scientists
towards the development of alternative strategies for plant disease suppression. Many countries in the world world today are considering biological control as the best alternative to chemicals of plant diseases and
pests (Suto et al. 2004). Biological control using microorganisms is largely based on the negative
interactions among the microbial population. Biological control offers a specific activity against the targeted
pathogens combined with the ability to stay as the non-dominant species while maintaining its
effectiveness in an ecosystem with low cost of mass production (Shoda 2000). More on: http://www.nepjol.info/index.php/NJST/article/view/6517/5306
