Advanced Research on Biological Control of Plant Disease Or Microbial Interactions

Plant diseases are caused by a large number of plant pathogens, with fungi, bacteria, and viruses being the main causes of the loss of crop yield and quality worldwide. Although several control strategies have been developed to reduce the negative effects of plant diseases, biological control remains an environmentally friendly and cost-effective green technique in environmental protection and agricultural production; it generally uses selected bioresources, including beneficial microorganisms. This Special Issue will comprehensively explore the general principles and advances in the "Biological Control of Plant Disease or Microbial interactions", in relation to the modes of action and applications of biocontrol agents in the control of plant diseases, interactions between plant pathogens and biocontrol agents, and biological control agents and their mechanisms.
