Description

Plant pathogens cause considerable damage to crop production resulting in global foodshortages and severe economic losses. There is growing restriction for the use ofagrichemicals, such as copper and antibiotics, in response to escalating resistance andenvironmental accumulation. Therefore, there is a desperate need for new, alternative,environmentally friendly antimicrobial agents. Bacteriophages (phages) naturallypredate bacteria and thus can be harnessed as biocontrol agents. An alternativ...
